Following the first break of the day we have noticed a few more players at the tables. This includes 2012 Aussie Millions champ Oliver Speidel and fellow prominent Aussies Brendon Rubie, John Caridad and Tony Hachem.
Jonathan Karamalikis opened to 525 from middle position and was called by Mishel Anunu in the cut off. The player on the button then raised it up to 1,650 which forced both blinds to fold. With the decision back on Karamalikis, he opted to raise it once more to 4,100. Anunu folded and the player on the button called.
The flop came down 
before Karamalikis threw out a continuation bet of 4,000 which was called. Both players then cautiously checked it down as the board ran out the

The hand started with Ashley Mason opening to 500 from under the gun and finding a call from the player to his immediate left. Nick Oiberman was in the cut off, and raised it up to 1,700. Both his opponents called as the three watched the flop come down

The action was checked to Oiberman who threw out a continuation bet of 1,800. Mason made the call before the player under the gun bumped it up to 5,000. Oiberman then released his hand as Mason made the call. Both players then checked it down as the turn and river came the and

The under the gun player then tabled his

Here are approximate chip counts of some of the notable players just prior to the first break of the day.
We arrived at Michael Kanaan's table to find the Sydneysider faced with an all in decision on the river of a 
board. Kanaan had around 10,000 behind and was already deep into the tank when we showed up.
After around another four minutes, Dennis Huntly called time on Kanaan. When the tournament director arrived at the table, Kanaan immediately folded. It was a good decision in the end as Kanaan's opponent tabled 
for the nut-flush. Kanaan lives to fight another day.
Daniel Neilson has rocketed up to 50,000 in chips after recently eliminating Tom Grigg.
Arriving at the table, we noticed both players all-in, with the board reading 
. Neilson then turned over his 
for a flopped set of eights which was enough to take down the big pot.
We arrived at the table to find Graham “KiwiG” Putt and Aaron Benton each committing 700 on a flop showing . Putt and Benton then proceeded to check on the turn and the 
river.
At showdown, Putt tabled 
for a pair of nines, but Benton had him out-kicked with 
to scoop up the small pot.
