Kyle Montgomery Leads Final 70 on Day 3
Welcome back to Crown Melbourne and 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific for Day 3 of the Event 9: AU$10,000 Main Event!
Yesterday saw the returning 182 players and five new entrants battle it out as players set their sights on capturing a piece of the AU$3.125 million prizepool. As players began jostling for position throughout the day, the player counter slowly trickled down before everyone was eventually located inside the main tournament area. As the dust settled and the chips were bagged and tagged, there would be just 70 players remaining to leave us just 34 spots away from the guaranteed AU$20,003 that accompanied finishing in the top 36.
Kyle Montgomery is the overnight chip leader with an amassed 595,000-chip stack after vaulting into the chip lead in the last level of the night when his aces ran into Timo Pfutzenreuter's kings to see a 500,000-chip pot shipped his way.

Victor Teng (511,800), Jackie Glazier (444,700), Ivan Zhou (430,000), and Henry Wang (307,100) all round out the top five chip counts while the likes of 2010 WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela (267,500); 2014 WSOP Asia-Pacific bracelet winners Alexander Antonios (228,000) and Sam Higgs (117,800); European Poker Tour Grand Final runner-up Jack Salter (171,500); Australian sports legend Shane Warne (162,300); former $50,000 Poker Player’s champ Brian Rast (136,600); and Day 1a chip leader Tobias Reinkemeier (93,900) are all still alive.

First Hand of the Day
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
A short-stacked Jonathan Duhamel started proceedings by moving all in for his remaining 2,600 from under the gun. Dennis Huntly was in late position and raised it up to 60,000 to force everyone else out. However, the action fell on Tatjana Zizic in the small blind who moved all in for 128,500. With the decision back on Huntly, he committed his last 3,800 in chips and the players tabled their cards.

Huntly locked up the pot after flopping a set of kings as he enjoys a double up early in today’s play. Duhamel made the effort in coming back today with the shortest stack but was unable to find a miracle to continue on.
