At 4 pm, the remaining 32 players will assemble in the poker room at The Star in Sydney to do battle on Day 2 of the WSOP International Circuit Sydney $1,320 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed event knowing that they are just two eliminations from a spot in the money places worth a minimum of $2,688.
Australia’s Huss Hassan will lead the pack with a chip stack of 521,000, with Richard Kellett (423,000), Michael Asad (341,500) and Seyed Jabbour (341,500) his closest rivals.
