Short Stacks Struggling
![[user80015]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Two of the tournament short stacks are two prolific online players from across the Tasman Sea in Melbourne, Australia.
Tom 'tollgate' Grigg and Andrew 'fuzzbungle' Hinrichsen have not only great online records on PokerStars.net but also on the live circuit.
Grigg collected the $1,500 Semi Shootout/Bounty tournament at last year's APPT Sydney for just over $30,000 before final tabling the Main Event and collecting nearly $120,000 for his fifth place finish.
As for Hinrichsen, he collected a second placing in the PokerStars.net ANZPT Queenstown Main Event and the Six-Handed event at the PokerNews Cup before finally breaking through with a win in the $2,500 Six-Handed event at the APPT Sydney before winning an Aussie Millions title in the Poker Pro event.
Unfortunately for Grigg and Hinrichsen, they are going to have recall deeply to the way they played those events as they sit with 7,050 and 6,325 respectively - although it is still a playable 35 and 31-big blind chip stack - if they are to not only make day two, but also have a charge at reaching the final table.
