ANZPT SYDNEY: AUSSIE MILLIONS CHAMP SPEIDEL LOOKING FOR AUS DOUBLE

First Melbourne and now Sydney. Defending Aussie Millions Champion Oliver Speidel is looking to continue his success in Australia, sitting second in chips as we head to final day play at ANZPT Sydney at the Star City Casino.


Speidel (2012 PTPR Rank: 7th) also enjoyed a side event score at Aussie Millions to go with his Main Event victory back in January.

Speidel's stack is still a few hundred thousand short of chip leader Nicholas Heather. Heather (2012 PTPR Rank: NR) enters final day play with 953K chips to Speidel's 797K stack.

Jim Collopy - who, like Speidel, earned a score at a Aussie Millions side event in Janaury - has the third biggest chip stack. Collopy (2012 PTPR Rank: 499th) finished sixth in the 1K NLH rebuy event at the Aussie.

We're playing down to a champion on Sunday.
