![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome back to the Crown Poker Room as we are set for Day 1b of the ANZPT Melbourne Main Event. This is the second and final Day 1 flight and by all reports, it's going to be quite large!
There were 242 entrants in the $2,200 buy-in event on Day 1a and somewhere near 300 isn't out of the question for Day 1b. It's quite likely we will at least see 250 or more players, which will mean somewhere near a seven-figure prize pool. Regardless, there were already well over 400 total entrants in the prize pool last night, which means this is the largest ANZPT Melbourne, by field size, in history.
Of the 242 players on Day 1a, exactly 85 survived after eight 60-minute levels. Anthony 'leggieblufs1' Legg, with 160,200 in chips and Akash Mazumdar, with 152,000, set the pace with the two largest stacks.
All the action on Day 1b is set to kick off at 12:10 p.m. local time and you can catch all the live updates here at PokerNews! It's going to be a massive day, so be sure to tune in and find out who from Day 1b makes it through to Day 2.
