Since one of the players busted at the very end of Day 1 to reduce the field to 24 players, the seats were kept for Day 2 but one table will break straight away to combine for three tables of eight each.
Another winner of an elusive LK Boutique championship ring will be crowned today at the poker room of the Crown Entertainment Complex in Melbourne. Day 2 of the 2016 Aussie Millions Poker Championship A$2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Event #18 will see 24 out of the 125 entrants return to the tables and 50% of the hopefuls will go home empty-handed.
Only the top 12 spots get paid at least A$5,625 whereas Aussie Millions glory and a payday of A$74,545 await for the winner. Best-positioned for the spotlight at the end of the day is Tam Truong with massive 280,100 followed by Hun Wei Lee (204,000) and Ilias Sagias (178,100). Other notables of the Aussie-dominated field on Day 2 include Jarryd Godena (138,000), 2014 World Series of Poker Asia Pacific bracelet winner Sam Higgs (92,600), Konstantin Buecherl (85,900), Billy "The Croc" Argyros (51,800), Michael Guttman (28,100), Jens Lakemeier (25,000), Daniel Laidlaw (24,500) and Martin Kozlov (17,600).
The action resumes in one hour from now at 1 p.m. local time with level 11 at blinds 1,000-2,000 and all levels last 40 minutes each until the final table is reached. The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to provide all key hands until the last river card is dealt, so make sure to tune back in regularly.
