Stephen Woodhead and Brian Mcallister are easily the two chip leaders and happen to be sitting at the same table. These two recently rumbled in a pot which began with Woodhead opening the hijack to 2,500. Mcallister called from the small blind and the dealer flipped over a 
flop. Mcallister check-called a bet here and a 
hit the turn. Mcallister once again check-called a bet, this time of 6,700. The board was completed with a 
and when Mcallister checked for the third time, Woodhead bet 15,500. Mcallister got out of the way.
With that, Woodhead is up to 245,000 in chips, while despite losing this hand, Mcallister is still going strong on 220,000.

Overnight chip leader Brian McAllister is continuing his winning ways here on Day 2 of the ANZPT Perth Main Event. In a recent hand, McAllister opened to 4,100 from early position. Action folded around to the short-stacked Peter Brasile in late position who moved all in for his last 15,000. The blinds folded and McAllister announced a call.
“Threes?” asked Brasile optimistically as he tabled 
.
“Jacks,” was not the reply that Brasile wanted to hear as McAllister opened 
.
The board ran out 
to see Brasile hit the rail as McAllister moved up over 210,000 in chips.

Full Tilt ANZPT Ambassador Tom Grigg couldn’t post a deep run here in the ANZPT Perth Main Event.
We didn’t catch Grigg’s elimination, but apparently it happened during the previous level. He told us he had 
against 
and got his short stack in on a 
flop. A five came on the river and Grigg was sent home.

Patrick Crivell is no longer involved in the tournament. He was short stacked and ultimately was eliminated when his 
was no match for 
when his opponent made two-pair.
Crivell, from Canada, recently finished 12th in the Aussie Millions Main Event for a $100,000 score, but won’t be winning any more cash here in Perth.
