Bedtime in Sydney - come back tomorrow!
Bedtime in Sydney - come back tomorrow!
Day 1a is over. Players are now racing off their green chips and bagging and tagging the remainder. It was a day that saw the ranks of hopeful players considerably thinned, with many of the more recognizable players falling by the wayside. Vanessa Rousso, Chad Brown, David Saab, Joel Dodds, Jay Kinkade, Julian Powell and Josh Pang Ang all failed to advance.

They weren't the only ones though. It appears that just 46 players from the original 108 who started Day 1a have made it through to Day 2, and New Zealand's Phil Willcocks is the probable Day 1a leader, having amassed over 120,000 in chips during the course of the day. Those numbers may change overnight once all of the bags are collected and logged and the official chip counts are distributed by APPT staff.

Day 1b kicks off at 12:30pm local time tomorrow. As always, PokerNews will be live with updates from the tournament floor.
