Start of Day 2 Chip Leader - Mehrdad Razmi

Welcome back to SKYCITY Auckland Casino for Day 2 of the 2014 Asia Pacific Poker Tour Auckland Main Event!

Eighty players have merged together from the first three flights as the sole survivors still within a chance of capturing the final APPT title of the season. Mehrdad Razmi (186,500) sits atop the leaderboard holding a slight advantage over Day 1a chip leader Ben Rendall (179,600) and Day 1c chip leader Terangi Matenga (170,400). Other notable players still in contention include Luke Brabin, Joachim Chia, Alex Lynskey, David Lim, Danni “Brotha D” Leaoasavaii, Michael Guzzardi, Jesse McKenzie, Dean Blatt and Father-and-Son duo Luke and Robert Spano.

With plenty of short stacks and room to manoeuvre due to such a fantastic structure, every one of the eighty left will be jostling to sneak into one of the top twenty-four paying spots before making a run at the final table where a NZ$132,000 first prize is on offer.

Play is set to begin in roughly an hours time at 12:15p.m NZST with plans to play down to the final table. PokerNews will again be on the floor providing all the live coverage - so stick around and enjoy the 2014 APPT Auckland Main Event live from the floor of the SKYCITY Auckland Casino!
