Assadourian Out; Not Down

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Just as our report went into the blogosphere, Eric Assadourian could be seen walking past the media desk.

Karib Karib detailed to us that Assadourian committed what remained of his stack holding {8-}{8-}, but managed to run into his opponent's {A-}{A-}.

Can anybody say Day 1c?

Assadourian Down; Not Out

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Our PokerNews Reporter came to the table with the board reading {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and with one player all-in against Eric Assadourian.

Apparently all the money went in on the turn and with a gut-wrenching jack on the river, Assadourian's {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} would be sent into the muck and his opponents {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} would be good enough to put a huge dent in Assadourian's stack.

Assadourian now sits with only 1,800. It might be an early day for the Aussie.

Feature Table FTW?

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Although situated at the very back of the Crown Poker Room, table forty-six is definitely the table to watch at the moment!

Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Annette Obrestad headlines the table and is joined by online players Matthew "onmyVplates" Pearson and Kel "aces_up4108" Beattie as well as Billy Jordanou, Luke Tsapzis and Martin Comer.

Familiar Faces

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

As always the familiar faces are popping up everywhere with WSOP bracelet winner Simon Watt and recent 2010 APPT Sydney Main Event winner Jonathan Karamalikis making their first appearance at this years Aussie Millions.

Also spotted was Norway's Annette Obrestad. The Full Tilt Pro knows what it takes to win on Australian soil after taking down the $1,100 Pot Limit Omaha Event at the 2010 Aussie Millions.

Taking advantage of the ability to buy-in again after busting from yesterdays action include Maria Ho and Tony Dunst.

How The Day Will Play Out

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Much like yesterday, players will begin with a 10,000-chip starting stack and will have to weave their way through twelve forty-minute levels if they want to see themselves back for day two.

If a player does bust today- of which there will be many- they will have the chance to come back and try it all again tomorrow using the unique repechage format.

It Begins!

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The age old call to send the cards in the air has been made, and with that play has commenced on day 1b of the Opening Event!

Blinds: 50/100
