Vuksanovic Bags Overall Chip Lead Ahead of APO Main Event Day 2

Will Shillibier

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

At 6:30 p.m., Georgina Vuksanovic had 125,000 which was good enough for 40 big blinds. A decent stack. But fast forward to the end of Day 1G of the Australian Poker Open Main Event and Vuksanovic had decidedly more.

So much more, in fact, that she bagged the chip lead with 1,032,000. It was another tight race, with Higor Seibel responsible for the penultimate elimination of the day here at Doltone House Western Sydney at Club Marconi, but missing out on the chip lead by just 4,000.

Overall there were 213 players on Day 1G, the largest of all the starting flights, with just 27 players advancing to Day 2.

Yesterday saw father and son Mark and Patrick Yazbeck advance to Day 2, well today husband and wife Hasan and Elisa Onay both made the money and their ticket to tomorrow. While yesterday it was Patrick with the bragging rights, today it's Hasan (pictured) with 470,000 chips in the bag ahead of Elisa's 249,000.

Day 2 of the APO Main Event kicks off at 12 p.m. with the levels increasing to 60 minutes in length. The 68 survivors will resume play at the earliest level one of the seven starting flights finished. This means that while Day 1g finished in 6,000/12,000/12,000, the blinds will be rolled back to 2,000/5,000/5,000.

Foster Bubbles APO Main Event Day 1G

Will Shillibier

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Josh Foster shoved for 162,000 from under the gun. Victor Dai flat-called in middle position. Zac Vigar tanked while the previous Nathan Glase elimination occured before folding.

The remaining players all folded and the action was held until all remaining tables were finished.

Josh Foster: A♣J♦ All in
Zac Vigar: J♥J♣

The board came 9♥8♦7♥4♦3♣ with no help for Foster who was eliminated, bringing the field to 27 and guaranteeing the remaining players AUD $5,000 and a seat in Day 2.

Glase Eliminated; Now on Bubble

Will Shillibier

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Higor Seibel opened to 25,000 and called a shove for 48,000 from Nathan Glase.

Nathan Glase: K♣J♦ All in
Higor Seibel: 7♥6♠

The flop J♠10♥4♥ gave Glase top pair. The turn was the A♥ giving Seibel a flush draw.

"Oh don't do him like that," said Seibel. But the river 2♥ completed his flush and sent Glase to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On a A♠3♦2♣K♣Q♣ board and with close to 300,000 in the middle, Noman Mirza checked to Malcolm Traynor who bet 300,000.

MIrza tank-folded and Traynor took down the pot.

"Show one, it's good for the game," said Mirza, but both of Traynor's cards remained face down.
