After another 11 long hours of action here in the Star Poker Room, play has come to an end for the day with 67 of the 231 players that started remaining.
Leading the way is Mick Fraser – who sits with a very respectable 285,200 – while Dejan Boskovic and Kahle Burns aren’t far behind.
He will join a total of 122 players to progress from the two Day 1 flights when they return tomorrow, all of them with eyes on the $297,203 first prize thanks to a record Sydney Championships Main Event field of 428.

Dejan Boskovic – 269,500
Kahle Burns – 261,300
Daniel Hameir – 252,400
