The 2012 Sydney Poker Championships have started in stunning fashion with a complete sell-out across all three day one flights of the $330 No Limit Hold’em Opening Event.
The field of 825 players have created a prizepool of AUD $247,500 with a first prize of almost $60,000 up for grabs. Two players hold a significant lead at this stage – Robert Lam (186,200) and Tolly Sakellariou (176,700) – with day 1A chip leader Simon Dwyer in third spot (127,700).
The list of 155 players returning for day two includes Antonis ‘Toothpick Tony’ Kambouroglou, Suzy Khoueis, Alfred Markarian, Milan Gurung, Mark Iskander, Jymmi Briggs, Didier Guerin, Shivan Abdine and Sam Capra.
Day two of the Opening Event kicks-off at 12.30pm today (Saturday) while tomorrow (Sunday), we’re proud to support the second edition of the $1100 PokerMedia Australia No Limit Hold’em Special. Cards will be in the air at 12.30pm with regular updates on PMA throughout the day.
