Welcome Back for Day 2 of the Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event
For many, the APPT Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event starts today. The day where one can look around see the winner in the room, if it's not them. The three starting flights are out of the way and, for the first time, all the remaining players are together for Day 2.
A total of 341 players from the 645 starters have made it this far but those numbers could grow as registration is open until plays kicks at 12:30PM local time. Total entrants last year totalled 668 so it's unlikely that number will be broken today, but you never know!
End of Day 1b chip leader Ian Wassell heads into today as the overall leader with 229,500. The only other player to make it past the 200k-mark was Day 1c chip leader Alex Antonios (206200). Other notable big stacks heading into today include: Dan Cates (161,100), Ai Barer (147,900) Bryan Huang (120,700), Conor Drinan (96,600), Alex Trevallian (85,500), Phil Ivey (84,600) and Dan Smith (79,000).
The plan for today is to play five 90-minute levels with a 15-minute break after each one, and no dinner break. Join us back here at 12:30PM.
