MELB CHAMPS: Past winner leads JHDS event into day 2

The Joe Hachem Deep Stack may have been reduced to a single event as part of the Melbourne Poker Championships, but it remains one of the most popular events on the circuit as shown by the huge field of 475 players.

Day two kicks-off today (Sunday) at Crown at 12.30pm with 169 players chasing a piece of the $237,500 prizepool and the first prize of $49,500.

Chris Bonato topped the day 1A chip count on 151,300 before being overtaken by Dave Lee on day 1B (281,700). But they were both eclipsed by past JHDS champion Andrew Mellado who bagged a mammoth 377,500 at the end of day 1C yesterday.

Other familiar names back today include Michael Guttmann, Tim English, Liam O’Rourke, Michael Egan, Minh Nguyen. Hai Bo Chu, John Dalessandri, Martin Kozlov, Danny Chevalier, David Gorr, Jackie Glazier, Andrew Scarf, Amanda DeCesare, Bill Jordanou, Graeme Putt and Maryann Farrugia.

Other events scheduled today include a $200 No Limit Hold’em Megastack (from 12.10pm) before tonight’s $300 No Limit Hold’em Non-Stop Turbo Teams Event, which kicks-off at 6.10pm.
