We are going into overtime down under! The return of the Opening Event at the Aussie Millions attracted a stunning 946 players - down only a few players from the 1,000 player field in 2011 - and organizers were forced to extend the event by one day.
After three Day 1's and Day 2 yesterday, it was obvious that the final 10 players weren't going to settle things in the original time frame.
Scott Wilson (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) will enter final table play as chip leader, hoping to be the one to replace defending champ Martin Drewe (2011 PTPR Rank: 182nd) as 2012 winner.
Wilson holds a 1M chip lead over Brendon Rubie (2011 PTPR Rank: 1766th), who had one PTPR last season, at the WSOP.
The other notable player at the final table, Manny Stavropoulos, shares the same 2011 rank as Rubie. Stavropoulos (2011 PTPR Rank: 1766th) finished in the Top 10 at the Main Event at last season's Aussie Millions.
