Stick a fork in day 1 of the Auckland leg of ANZPT Queenstown. 25 starters remain (including 5 Pokerstars No Shows). When the field is cut to 15 on Sunday we’ll call it a day and those remaining will pack their bags for Queenstown on the following weekend. Local Tim Mcbeth has the chip lead at 74,000, those to look out for in what promises to be a short day 2, Bryan Huang (40k), Robet Wang (19k), Richard Lancaster(55k) and Smitty(50k).

(this entry was made with 3 hands to go, but the Warriors are on in 35 mins I’m out of here!)
