It will take an extra day to decide a champion at Doltone House Western Sydney at Club Marconi, where the final 10 players in the $1,500 Platinum Player Championships will return at 4 p.m. local time to battle for the Australian Poker Open trophy.

The field of 937 entries is down to 10, with each of them guaranteed A$14,000 to this point. All of them will have their eye on the title and first-place prize of A$248,000, which will finally be handed out on this unscheduled Day 3.

The top two on the leaderboard are separated by just a single 25,000 chip, as Justin Woo and Alex Lee tower over the rest of the field with 54 big blinds apiece. Their stacks combine to represent a third of the chips in play, and they return to action with sizeable leads at their tables.

Day 3 will begin at 4 p.m. local time, where action will resume hand-for-hand on the final table bubble. The last nine players will then redraw for the final table, playing down to a winner from there.
