With only 4 entries, A$50,000 Challenge was a huge disappointment for the organizers. Sam Greenwood took down the rather short event, for A$116,400.
Unlike the A$50k, the Main Event made history generating the biggest ever player pool of 800. Most of the A$8 million prize pool and the A$1.6 million is still up for grabs and only 38 players are allowed to come back to play Day 4 yesterday. Mike Del Vecchio is leading the field, sitting on a 2,330,000 chip stack. His lead is pretty commanding considering that Aaron Lim in the second position has 1,358,000. The biggest name left in the field is Ari Engel, who has $5,333,904 and is looking to increase that by a nice score.

All of the trophies of the last 4 events stay in Australia, as all of them were taken down by Aussies. Haitao Luan is the champion of A$1,150 NLHE Terminator event, Roberto Damelian took down A$1,150 Hyper Turbo NLHE, Matthew Smith won A$1,150 NLHE/PLO and Sam Higgs the A$1,150 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-lo event.
The A$100,000 is yet to be started and it will be interesting to see if it will be more popular than this year’s A$50k.
