Day 2 of ANZPT Perth Set to Begin with 145 Hopefuls
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
After two Day 1 flights, dozens of bust outs and some dramatic controversy, the record starting field of 256 players has been whittled down to the 145 who will return for Day 2 action.
Leading the way with the only six-figure stack is Day 1b chip leader Brian Mcallister. The closest player to Mcaalister is WSOP bracelet winner Andrew Hinrichsen, while players such as ANZPT Auckland champion David Lim, WSOP bracelet winner Aaron Lim, Stev Lackovic, Minh Nguyen, Asj Taylor, Full Tilt ANZPT Ambassador Tom Grigg, Dale Marsland, Sal Fazzino, Oliver Gill, Dylan Honeyman and James Broom are just a few of the notable names still in contention.
All of the returning players will be hoping to pick up a big piece of the $512,000 prize pool. The eventual champion will pocket $131,900, while the top 27 will finish in the money. We are unlikely to reach the money on Day 2, but the players will still likely have their eyes on the prize.
The cards will be in the air from 12:30 p.m. on Day 2 and we will once again be here providing all the live updates, while our friends at the PokerStarsBlog will have plenty of feature stories for you to sink your teeth into. Be sure to join us all day long as we continue moving toward crowning the next ANZPT champion!
