The second of three starting days for the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event drew a total of 207 players, putting the total for now on 389 - 33 entries ahead of last year's pace.
After a long day of poker it was American pro Alex Rocha who came out on top on Day 1b, taking 166,000 chips to the second day of play, right ahead of KC Wong who bagged up 163,000.
Day 1b had strong cast of contenders, including German pro Dominik Nitsche. The man with $5.1 million in live tournament earnings lasted all but six hands, as he ran his set of threes into Pete 'Chewing Gum Pete' Matusik's set of tens. Italian November Niner Federico Butteroni, tennis legend Boris Becker and WSOP Ladies Event winner Kristin Bicknell were also among the players we will not see return on Day 2.
Big One for One Drop champion Antonio Esfandiari made an appearance on Day 1b as well, and he entertained his table filled predominantly with amateur players, with a game of Lodden Thinks. Esfandiari cracked jokes and had a good time, but ultimately he was not rewarded with chips, as he got knocked out.
Brazilian pro Yuri Dzivielevski had a good day and bagged up 76,200, while Vladimir Troyanovskiy will take 102,500 to Day 2. Other players that advanced included Dylan Wilkerson, Ronnie Bardah, Oliver Price and former Aussie Millions champions Tyron Krost and Oliver Speidel.
