Mitri Makes the Call
Kenta Ito opened to 20,000 in middle position and Gavin Ogilvy called in the cutoff. George Mitri announced a raise to 75,000 in the small blind, with Ito folding and Ogilvy making the call.
Mitri led out for 40,000 on the 2♦K♦4♠ flop, with Ogilvy calling to see the J♦ turn. Mitri slowed down with a check, and Ogilvy counted out a bet of 80,000.
Mitri called to the 10♥ river, where he checked once more. Ogilvy took some time before firing 160,000. Mitri made the call and Ogilvy flipped over 3♥3♦ for a pair of threes. Mitri revealed A♣K♥ for top pair, taking a good piece of Ogilvy's stack before the table broke.
Fast Start For Davison
Hasan Onay opened to 40,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Greg Davison in the big blind, who made the call.
Davison checked the 7♥K♠7♣ flop, making the call when Onay continued for 30,000. Another check from Davison followed the 10♣ turn, where Onay fired 80,000.
Davison then check-raised to 260,000 and Onay took a moment before making the call. Davison then checked the 8♣ river, with Onay checking behind.
Davison showed A♦7♠ for trip sevens, raking in a big early pot as Onay showed K♥10♥.

Hasan Onay Looks For APO Double on Day 2 of $1,500 Platinum Player Championships
After five opening flights of the $1,500 Platinum Player Championships, the time has finally come to play down to a winner. A total of 937 entrants over the last five days created a prize pool of AUD $1,218,100 more than doubling the original guarantee.
At stake today will be a sizeable first-place prize, to be announced along with full payouts as play begins at 12 p.m. local time, plus the coveted Australian Poker Open trophy.
It is sure to be another exciting day at Doltone House Western Sydney at Club Marconi, where Minkyu Jun leads the remaining 118 survivors as the only player above 1,500,000 chips. In all, five players will return to the felt with seven-figure stacks. Everyone has been paid out a minimum prize of $2,300, returning to action in the money and looking to earn a spot at the final table.
Among the top stacks heading into Day 2 is Hasan Onay, fresh off his victory in the Australian Poker Open Main Event on Sunday for AUS $284,480. Onay defeated 549 entrants to claim the trophy, and now has a chance at another deep run with 143 big blinds.
