The ANZPT Repechage will have a slightly different structure compared to the usual ANZPT’s. Players will start with 20,000 in chips and play 13 levels on the Day 1 flights. It will be 30 minutes for the first four levels of Day 1 and then 40 minutes thereafter for the remaining levels.
The first group of players have taken their seats, and after an introduction and rundown of the day’s procedures by the event’s Tournament Director, the cards are up in the air for the commencement of play.
Level: 1
Blinds: 50/100
Ante: 0
Welcome back to Melbourne for Day 1b of the 2013 PokerStars.net ANZPT Main Event Repechage, from the Poker Room here at Crown Casino.
Yesterday saw 224 entrants take to the field (including some no-shows), and after 13 entertaining levels, we were left with just 33 runners, and Anthony Hachem leading the way. He amassed a whopping 386,000 in chips, which was nearly double that of his nearest rival.
Because of the Repechage format, we will most likely be seeing the return of a few players who were eliminated yesterday, who’ll be trying to redeem themselves with a solid run into Day 2. Some of these include Dave Allen, Benn Skender, Liam O’Rourke, Tom Grigg and Jarrod Glennon.
Be sure to stay tuned, as the PokerNews live reporting team bring you all the live action, starting in just under an hour’s time at 2:00pm local time.
