The players have ripped open their bags and the cards are in the air on Day 2 of the ANZPT Sydney Main Event.
Word on the street (Read: the staff at The Star) is that we will be playing eight or ten levels today, which seems like a little bit of overkill considering this year's ANZPT has a whole extra day on the schedule compared to last year. However, that means tomorrow won't take too long to get to the final table.
Either way, we are a a tonne of bust outs and bad beat stories from seeing this tournament enter the record books.
Three days ago the ANZPT Sydney Main Event began. After two Day 1 flights there were 458 total players in the $2,200 buy-in event, which created a $916,000 top prize. Now, as we head into Day 2, just 167 players remain in contention for the $225,300 top prize.
Leading the way with 195,200 in chips is Day 1a's Michael Pinzone, while the leaders from last night's Day 1b Michael Pinzone and Adrian Attenborough aren't too far behind.
While they don't have as many chips as Mathers, players like Milan Gurung, Reza Vakili, Daniel Neilson, Nam Le, Ben Gilholme, Oliver Gill, Dale Marsland, Alex Lee, Anthony Aston, Jordan Westmorland, former ANZPT Sydney champion Michael Kanaan, Brett Chalhoub, Mile Krsatonski, Emanuel Seal, Dylan Honeyman and Australian Poker Hall of Fame members Billy Argyros and Mel Judah.
All of these players, and a whole bunch more, will be at the felt from 12:30 p.m. all looking to survive through Day 2 and perhaps make it into the top 54 money-paying positions and start eyeing off a spot at the final table. Once again we will be here all day long providing live updates from ANZPT Sydney, so be sure to stay tuned!
