The first event on Season 7 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour began on Wednesday as 99 players hit the tables for Day 1a of the ANZPT Perth Main Event.

After six 60-minute levels, exactly 54 players made their way out of the Crown Perth poker room having a secured a spot on Day 2. Leading the way with a stack of 80,450 is Raiden Kan.

It was a productive day at the felt for Kan as he looks to continue the success he had at the Aussie Millions where he finished 10th in the Main Event for $95,000 and 7th in the $25,000 Challenge for $125,000.

Trailing Kan with 75,450 in chips is none other than Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang. For much of the last level of the night it was looking like Huang was going to finish on top, but he ultimately missed out by a few thousand.

Australian regular Didier Guerin closes out the top three with 68,400 in chips. Guerin had a great day at the felt and not only in the Main Event as he finished runner-up in the $1,100 Six-Max side event just a short while before Day 1a kicked off.

Some of the others who made it through the night, albeit with less chips than the top three, include Canaian pro Xuan Liu (59,600), Tony Tartaglia (52,300), Michael Addamo (54,575), Anthony Legg (46,275), reigning ANZ Player of the Year David Lim (42,675), Jesse ‘On The Mac’ McKenzie (38,000), 2013 ANZ Player of the Year Iori Yogo (28,950) and recent Aussie Millions Main Event runner-up Lennart Uphoff (14,400).

All these players, and the rest of the survivors, will now return to the felt from 12:30pm local time on Friday. A new batch of players, meanwhile, will partake in the second and final Day 1 flight in just a few hours from 12:30pm local time Thursday. Be sure to join us then as we continue to provide live updates from ANZPT Perth.
