Day 1c Done and Dusted with Brkovic Leading
Day 1c of the 2010 PokerStars.net APPT Sydney Grand Final has come and gone. This final starting day was the largest of the three with 146 players showing up to action. That's greater than the first two days combined and put the total number of players at 289 this year. Although that number is a bit down from the 396 that played last year, there's still a whopping A$1,734,000 in prize money up for grabs. First place is worth A$459,510.
Plenty of big names were in action today, including Tony G, Tyron Krost, Roland de Wolfe and Jarred Graham. Team PokerStars Pros Chris Moneymaker, Joe Hachem, Tony Hachem and Lee Nelson also played today. Nelson and Joe Hachem were the only two Team PokerStars Pros to move on to Day 2 from Day 1c. Some of the other notables who failed to make it out of the day were James Obst, Jeff Lisandro, John Caridad, Binh Nguyen and Ben Delaney.
Leading the way after this third and final starting day is Aleks Brkovic, who bagged up 129,100 in chips. He won't be the chip leader coming into Day 2 though, as that belongs to Daniel Neilson who bagged up 164,100 after Day 1b.
All three combined fields will join up tomorrow for action that begins at 12:30 p.m. local time. We'll see you right back here at PokerNews tomorrow for all of the action.
