Second and Final Day 1 of ANZPT Sydney Set to Begin

We are back in The Star for the second and final Day 1 flight of the ANZPT Sydney Main Event.

Yesterday there were 211 players who ponied up the $2,200 buy-in and hit the felt and today we hope for a field far larger than that, on which will see us surpass last year's 460-player field and even move towards making this the largest ANZPT in history.

Jazz Mathers set the pace on Day 1a, bagging up 198,400 in chips. That's the stack the players will be chasing on Day 1b, but more importantly, players will just be hoping to make it through eight levels of play to secure a Day 2 berth.

Once again we will be here all day long providing live updates, while are friends at PokerStarsBlog are providing feature stories.

The action kicks off at 12:30 p.m. !
