A short opening day of less than five levels meant that the majority of the 184 starters were back at the Grand Waldo Entertainment Complex today for day two of the five-day Asia Championship of Poker Main Event.
Not surprisingly, the HKD $10,000,000 guarantee was surpassed with a prizepool of HKD $17,305,200 (AUD $2.15 million) to be shared among the top 22 placegetters. The winner will take home just over AUD $525,260.
Among the 44 players KOed on day one included Johnny Chan (at the hands of Brendon Rubie), John Juanda and Gordon Huntly along with Australians Aaron Benton and Grant Levy.
Yue Hin Lam (122,525), Mike Kim (103,900) and Joseph Cheong (101,850) were the only players to crack six-figures before play was halted for the ACOP players’ party.
A big line-up of Aussies will also be back for day two, including Rubie (seventh overall), Aaron Lim, Didier Guerin, Andrew Hinrichsen, Craig Cockburn, David Allan, Daniel Neilson, David Steicke, Andrew Scott, Jackie Glazier, Jonathan Karamalikis, Mike Marvanek, Michael Kanaan, Daniel Laidlaw, Ali Ghezelbash, Liam O’Rourke, Oliver Speidel and Julian Powell.
