Defending Champion and Karamalikis in the Running
The field has grown to 119 and with entry remaining open for another six and a half hours, beating the 216 entries from the 2018 edition looks like a distinct possibility.
Defending champion Matthew Wakeman one of the more recent entries. With over US$1.29m in live tournament winnings, Wakeman is a seasoned player and will be hoping for a repeat of his victory last year, which was good for AU$256,496.
Another veteran in the running is Jonathan Karamalikis, who is another new entry. Currently sitting at #6 on the Australia All Time Money List with over US$4.36m in live tournament winnings Karamalikis will be looking to add to his tally of 12 live tournament titles.
New Zealand's Sosia Jiang is another recent arrival, and the #2 ranked New Zealand player will be looking to add to her US$1.42m in live tournament winnings.
