For the past two weeks, the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific has been playing out at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. Thus far eight gold bracelet events are in the books, and those who've captured gold include winner of Event #1 AU$1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Accumulator Luke Brabin; Jeff Lisandro, who captured his sixth WSOP bracelet; and George Danzer, who won his third bracelet of 2014 and pulled out to a big lead in the 2014 WSOP Player of the Year race.
Danzer is expected to play today if for no other reason than to protect his lead. That's because Brandon Shack-Harris, who is currently in second place 116.8 points behind Danzer, is still alive in the AU$10,000 Main Event, which is currently playing towards the money on Day 3. Shack-Harris will need either a runner-up finish or win to retake the lead, but right now that's still a possibility. You can follow our live updates from the Main Event by clicking here.
Others expected to play today are Winfred Yu, the man behind the famed high-stakes cash games in Macau; 2010 WSOP Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel, who was eliminated from the Main Event earlier today; 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth; reigning WSOP APAC Main Event champ (at least for another few days) Daniel Negreanu; November Niner Bruno Politano; and 2012 WSOP Main Event champ and POY Greg Merson.
Players will begin today with 75,000 in tournament chips, and the plan for the day is to play ten 45-minute levels. There will be no dinner break tonight, but there will be a 15-minute break after every two levels. Late registration will remain open until the start of Level 13 on Day 2.
Who will win the last bracelet of the 2014 WSOP APAC? We won't have the answer for a three days, but tonight players will take the first step on that journey. Of course the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand every step of the way. Cards will be in the air in a couple hours, so stay tuned for all the High Roller action you can handle.
