There are now just over 70 players registered for Day 1b of ANZPT Perth.
That's a little smaller than at this point yesterday, but that doesn't meant there arent some notable players at the felt.
Not only are there Australians like Ken Demlakian, Nathan Gubieski, Minh Nguyen, Patrick Healy, Ash Warner and Henry Szmelcer, there are also some unexpected internationals like Jonas Mackoff and Martin Finger. Both these players were at the recent Aussie Millions and have clearly stuck around Down Under . Mackoff will be hoping to continue his form of the Aussie Millions which saw him win the $2,500 H.O.R.S.E event.
We are running just a couple of minutes behind schedule here on Day 1b of the ANZPT Perth Main Event, but nonetheless, the cards are now in the air on Day 1b! There are currently 60 players registered. That number should increase as there is a steady line at the registration desk.
