$3,300 APO Main Event
Day 2 Started
Welcome to Day 2 of the Australian Poker Open Main Event inside Club Marconi at Doltone House Western Sydney, where just 86 remaining players from all starting flights will return at noon to battle on the felt until nine are left standing.
Leading the pack is two-time WSOP bracelet winner and high-roller Kahle Burns, who bagged an astounding 1,590,000 last night in Day 1f. More than ten starting stacks separate Burns from his next-closest competitor — fellow Aussie Louis Luo, who was the only other player to breach the million-chip mark (1,009,000).
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kahle Burns | Australia | 1,590,000 |
| 2 | Louis Luo | Australia | 1,009,000 |
| 3 | John Perry | New Zealand | 982,000 |
| 4 | Daniel Gan | Australia | 972,000 |
| 5 | Armon van Wijk | Australia | 916,000 |
| 6 | Paawan Bansal | India | 862,000 |
| 7 | Nelson Dong | Australia | 826,000 |
| 8 | Joe Sandaev | Australia | 817,000 |
| 9 | David Pham (AU) | Australia | 763,000 |
| 10 | Jackson Young | Australia | 763,000 |
Also still in contention are Marc Seymour (628,000), Higor Seibel (243,000), and Daniel Tolomeo (75,000) — all of whom made the final table in last year's Main Event. Last year's champion, Hasan Onay, was a no-show this year, which means a new champion will be crowned.
Day 2 will be rolled back to Level 12, which features blinds of 2,500/5,000/5,000. Levels will be extended to 60 minutes each from Day 2 onwards and breaks will be held after every two levels. Prize pool information will be posted shortly after Day 2 begins.
The 2025 APO Main Event is now in its final leg, and all the remaining players have a real shot at making the final table. Continue to follow PokerNews for all the triumphs and heart aches leading right up until the final table is set!
