O'Grady Among Today's Hopefuls
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
With more than half a million in cashes, Michael O'Grady is among the more notable names in Australia and the vast majority of his cashes come from home soil, in either Sydney or Melbourne. Yesterday, O'Grady finished 8th in the Accumulator Event after his kings were cracked by pocket queens and he collected A$16,900 for his efforts.
The start into Day 1b of O'Grady hasn't been great just yet as his stack was cut down in almost half, however that's still plenty of big blinds in the second level of the day.
