Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang has managed to win some chips back after falling to a Day 1a low of 4,600. We watched Huang scoop up some of these reclaimed chips on the river of a ![]()

board. Huang check-called a pot-sized bet of 1,200 – which prompted Huang’s opponent to instantly muck. Huang casually slid his cards away face down and scooped the chips to move back towards 10,000. Still plenty of work to do.

The players have been sent on their first 10-minute break of the day!
Two levels down, four to go.
Patrick Crivell is coming off a strong Aussie Millions campaign where he finished in 12th place in the Main Event for $100,000.
However his momentum appears to be stuttering here in Perth after taking an early hit to his stack.
Crivell called a bet on the turn before his opponent led out with a bet of 2,200 on the river on a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
. Crivell splashed out a raise of 7,000 but his opponent had less than that behind, and he was resigned to commit his last chips with ![]()
for a marginal top pair.
Crivell couldn’t beat that as his cards hit the muck. He’s back down to 9,100 in chips.

Daniel Levy is well known around the Australasian poker tour. Not necessarily for his poker results. More for his friendly nature and affable personality (Read: He is quite loud, rivaled only by Oliver Gill).
We recently caught Levy taking down quite a sizable pot.
It started with the under the gun plus one player opening to 450. Two players made the call before Levy called from the small blind. The big blind then three-bet to 1,675 and the action folded around to Levy. After a few moments thought, Levy called and the dealer flipped over a ![]()
![]()
flop. Levy check-called a bet of 1,675 here and a
hit the turn. This time Levy check-called a bet of 3,600 and a
completed the board. Levy checked and his opponent checked behind.
Levy turned over ![]()
and scooped up the pot.
Levy is up to around 27,000.

Here are a few more familiar faces we have noticed here on Day 1a of the ANZPT Perth Main Event.
Included in this list is Dale Marsland. We had to look twice when we saw Marsaland as he is now sporting a brand new mohawk.

"Six thousand, it's a pretty good stack" Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang said to us as we passed his table.
"I ran top-two pair into a set twice already," Huang added.
With two unlucky hands like that, Huang is probably lucky to still have that many chips.
It's only early days, so Huang has plenty of time to run that stack up.
