Day one flight two of Adelaide's ANZPT main event has started quietly. It is as if today's players are the contemplative sort as opposed to yesterday's field which was dominated by local casino satellite qualifiers, 60 in total out of a field of 104.

Scanning the room I can see Tony G, WSOP Bracelet winner Mel Judah, and Irishman George Mckeever. Then there's Tim English, who final tabled at the APPT Sydney event, the ubiquitous Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt, and the successful Tony Dunst, Chris Chronis, Sydney boy Sam Khouiss, Melbourne stalwart Sam Youssef and Queenslander Sean Dunwoodie.

Three PokerStars sponsored players have chosen today to start their campaing - Celina Lin has taken her seat, as has Tony Hachem and APPT Sydney 2007 champion Grant Levy.

To round out the high-profile players, Billy "The Croc" arrived fashionably late, perhaps taking a leaf from the Phil Helmuth playbook.

To underline my opening comment we're 40 minutes into the first level and 111 players remain - by this stage yesterday five had headed for the rail.

No great chip moves at the moment. Like we said, today has a more conservative feel to it.
