Day 2 Concludes; It's All Brown Town!
It was a day full of action as 130 players entered and only 32 emerged to reach day three of play tomorrow.
Similar to our opening day of play, today was the story of contrasting fortunes. Emad Tahtouh must still be steaming after his sudden fall from grace today, but the man he gave his chips to has put them to tremendous use. Kiwi Jason Brown will fly the flag high for the locals tomorrow as he will carry a massive chip advantage bagging 632,000 chips by the close of play. Things just went right for him today. From the double up through Tahtouh, through to the great call against Sean Wilson and finally bursting the bubble with his new favorite hand...the king-four.
Brown has some good form behind him, combined with a big lead that will make him tough to beat when play recommences tomorrow. We'll have the full list of chips counts of the field when they come to hand, but amongst the survivors are PokerStars Team Australia Pro Eric Assadourian, his father Assadour and the defending champion Daniel Craker.
Join us from 12:15pm local time (GMT+13) tomorrow as we play down until we reach our final table. See you then!
