Photo: Adrian Pacheco is the overall chipleader with 580,000 (232 big blinds).
Across two starting flights, there were exactly 600 entries in WPT Australia, generating a prizepool worth exactly AUD $4,500,000 (~US $2.9 million). The full list of payouts should be released Sunday morning, and we will post them here in the updates. We expect the final 75 players or so to finish in the money, with a top prize worth something in the neighborhood of AUD $800,000 (~US $515,000).
Day 2 begins at 11:30 pm, with blinds at 1,500-2,500 and a big blind ante of 2,500. The field is scheduled to play six 90-minute levels with a break after each level.
