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.
Yesterday saw 283 players come together unable to add to the $400,000 guaranteed prize pool with a host of notables among the field, including Sam Higgs, Andrew Hinrichsen, Jonathan Karamalikis, Ryan Hong, Haoran Zhang, Stevan Chew, Jordan Westmorland, Brendon Rubie, and Matt Wakeman.
Wakeman (46,000), who is hoping to make another deep run after capturing the $5K Challenge title just under a week ago, is the only one of those names mentioned previously who will be returning today alongside other well known players Shivan Abdine (153,500), Connie Graham (146,500), Ben Richardson (131,500), Graeme Putt (121,000) Tristan Bain (120,500) and Nurlan Boobekov (104,500).
Just like yesterday, 40-minute levels will be played today with 10-minute breaks after each three levels. The blinds will begin at 3,000/6,000/1000 ante and play will continue until we have crowned a champion. .
