Just 19 players from a starting field of 114 will return for Day 2 of the 2018 Aussie Millions $25,000 Challenge, with a whole host of big names still in contention for the over A$700,000 in prize money for first place as well as the ANTON Jewellery championship ring.
Leading the way is Kitty Kuo, who stormed to the chip lead on Day 1, but there are still some dangerous players lurking who will look to usurp Kuo. They include former WSOP APAC Main Event runner-up Jack Salter, double Aussie Millions ring-winner Mustapha Kanit, triple bracelet-winner Michal Gathy, WSOP final tablist Ben Lamb and top Australian player Jonathan Karamalikis.
There are still plenty more stories yet to be written in this year's $25,000 Challenge and the action gets underway just after 2pm local time. The tournament must end today, but before we crown a winner we have the money bubble to deal with, which will burst in one of the first few levels of the day.
A total of 14 places will be paid, with a min-cash worth A$54,720. A seat at the final table of six will guarantee a player a cool A$123,120 but all remaining players will be casting their eyes ever skyward towards the first prize of A$738,720 and the Aussie Millions championship ring.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live updates from this year's Aussie Millions, including the A$10,600 Main Event and $50,000 Challenge, which kick off tomorrow, as well as the $100,000 Challenge which starts February 4th.
