Melbourne is Sunday mornings.
A strong coffee or brunch at probably the most world-class cafes.
A casual stroll along the beach or even a walk with a quicker tempo across the "Tan".
Or perhaps a trip to the markets along St.Kilda Esplanade.
Technically we're still in Winter. No less than for an additional day. However the weather reads a sunny 20 degrees which we'll take for a Winter's day any day.
However for 179 of our ANZPT Melbourne players, the elements is ideal for nothing else but poker. We are hoping they enjoyed a lazy Sunday morning because once the clock ticks over to 12:30pm, they'll need their game faces on. It's moving day here on the ANZPT Melbourne.
The first goal for our players today can be to succeed in the money stage. That allows you to all unfold when we reach the general 63 players. There are certain to be some nervous moments as nobody desires to play for 2 days to be the only to bubble the $3,100 min-cash.
We'll be playing nine levels today, and the number crunchers let us know if you want to probably get us all the way down to around 30 or so players by the top of the day. Shall we power through to the overall table, but well, there are important such things as player parties that get within the way of that. However it will leave us with an extended day on Monday to crown our eventual champion.
Starting today the clear chip leader is Vincent Chua who stretched us into overtime yesterday with a remarkable hand to finish the day. Chua's loose-aggressive image induced a large river call and when Chua tabled a straight he found himself bagging up 210,100 in chips. That's easily enough for the chip lead here in the beginning of play.
Chua might be hoping so we can be enough to hold him deep into this tournament but there are such a lot of sharks lurking in these waters. Joe Hachem, Tristan Bain, Anthony Aston, Matt Wakeman, Liam O'Rourke, Daniel Botta, Jackie Glazier and Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang are only one of the crucial big names still in contention.
You get the sensation whatever happens today, we are going to have a stellar line up coming back for the overall day of play tomorrow.
