![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The 2016 Aussie Millions Poker Championship Event #2 $2,500 H.O.R.S.E. final table was set just after 10 p.m. Thursday and it is filled with local legends.
Leading the group when play resumes Friday in Melbourne will be 2014 Aussie Millions $2,500 8-Game champ and three-time WSOP final table participant James Obst.
The only player currently close is the very same one that finished second to Obst in that 2014 Aussie Millions $2,500 8-Game event, New Zealander and WSOP APAC $5,000 No Limit Hold'em - 6 Handed third-place finisher Jan Suchanek. Australian Poker Hall of Fame member Jason Gray is the only other player with a six-figure stack.
Leading the bottom half of the counts is Australian Poker Hall of Fame member Mel Judah.
The shorter stacks include 2015 Australian Poker Hall of Fame nominee Michael Guttman, 2008 Victorian Poker Championship $100,000 Challenge winner and local tournament killer Peter Aristidou, and 2014 Sydney Championships $5,000 Challenge winner Jarryd Godena.
Play will resume with the start of Level 14 at 1 p.m. local time Friday inside the Crown Poker Room just two spots off the money with a $35,100 first-place prize and an Aussie Millions title hanging in the balance.
Stay tuned as the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand for all the action until a winner is crowned.
