Day 2 play is complete and it looks like Phil Ivey is in it to win it.
With 74 players remaining - only two away from the money bubble - Ivey (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) is second in chips 778K. Ivey must be scaring the living hell out of the remaining field.
Ivey trails only Tim O'Shea in the Main Event. O'Shea (2011 PTPR Rank: 346th)
won the NLH 6-Max event here at the Aussie Millions last season.
Another Aussie Millions prelim winner from 2011, Oliver Speidel, is fifth in chips. Speidel (2011 PTPR Rank: 346th, tied with O'Shea) currently has 540K in chips for the tournament.
2006 Aussie Millions Main Event Champion Lee Nelson also has a healthy chip stack. Nelson (2011 PTPR Rank: 836th) - who won the ANZPT Melbourne Main Event in 2011 - will look to collect more chips on Day 3 as the money bubble draws near.
Aage Ravn (2011 PTPR Rank: NR), Jason Koon (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) and Yann Dion (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) are other top stacks to keep an eye on Day 3.
