Hachem Calls It Right

Tom Grigg's powering chip stack
Tom Grigg's powering chip stack

Tony Hachem approached our PokerNews field reporter to detail a conversation he had with Tom Grigg after the end of his day one session.

"It is the first time that you've finished day one with minimum chips. Good for you because day two you'll end up being chip leader!" stated Hachem to Grigg.

As for Hachem's predication, so far he is spot on as Grigg is sitting on top with over 530,000 in chips with only several more hands remaining in the night.

Three More Hands

It doesn't look like we'll be making the money tonight as we still need five more eliminations until we reach the money.

Consequently, there will be three more hands for the evening!

Schaffman Exits

Oliver Schaffman

Oliver Schaffman opened with a raise preflop as only Servio Briones came along for the ride to see a {4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop fall.

Both players checked, and when the {9-Diamonds} landed on the turn, Schaffman fired out 11,000 only to have Briones bump it to 26,000 with Schaffman making the call.

The river landed the {Q-Clubs} and Briones moved all in - and following a lengthy deliberation - Schaffman made the call for the last of his chips.

Briones tabled his {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to prompt a fold from Schaffman as he made his way to the rail while Briones soared to 250,000 in chips.

Day 2 Ends Shy of the Money; Grigg Out In Front!

Chip Leader Tom Grigg
Chip Leader Tom Grigg

The fourth season of the PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour returned to the SKYCITY Auckland Casino for the continuation of the Auckland Main Event!

Day 2 kicked off with ninety-six players taking to the felt to battle it down till players reached the money and the guaranteed $4,271 payday. Overnight chip leaders Noah Vogelman and Nauv Kashyap continued their day one dominance as they accumulated chips at ease. However Kashyap would see his momentum soar in the wrong direction as he soon found himself on the rail along with fellow Australians Julian Cohen, Koray Turker, Jai Kemp, Joel Dodds, Andrew Hinrichsen, along with New Zealanders Lee Nelson, Cole Swannack, Richard Lancaster and Mike Kim.

When the dust settled and the SKYCITY Auckland Poker Room cleared out, only twenty-eight players remained - just four eliminations shy of the money - with Tom Grigg in clear control with an amassed 546,300-chip stack. Grigg amazingly began the day with less than what he started the tournament with; but following a great seven-level session, his chip stack represents less than one-eighth of the chips in play and double his nearest rival!

Those rivals include Santi Soriano Ramos (265,300), Danny Leaoasavaii (245,800), Srdjan Mitrovic (245,800) and Lance Climo (217,100). Day 1a chip leader Vogelman sits just behind with 195,900, while Julius Colman (120,700), Leo Boxell (120,500), Damien Wong (66,300) and Luke Edwards (34,700) all remain in contention.

Play is set to begin at 12:15 p.m. NZST with the twenty-eight returning players playing down to a final nine with the PokerNews Live Reporting Team providing all the action from the PokerStars APPT Auckland Main Event live from the SKYCITY Auckland Casino!
