Early on day two at the ANZPT Adelaide and the numbers are slowly dwindling. A total of 77 started the day and there are 56 left as we get to the end of level 11 which takes the average chip stack to a little more than 76,000.

Included among those eliminated were Diego Walsh, Steven Downing, Andrew Demetriou, Joel Dodds, Ray Sukkar, Emanuel Seal and local boy Eugene Juczenko.

Julius Colman and Matthew Jones from Canada still hold the top two spots on the chip table while Toby Meridith, James Broom and Dean Nyberg round out the top five placings. Toby came from a start of 88,000 today and now sports 180,000.

Today's tough table has PokerStars Poker Pro Joe Hachem, PokerStars sponsored Emad Tahtouh, Billy "the croc", Nobbi Tanaka, Matthew Jones and Dean Nyberg in attendance. I heard Tahtouh and Hachem musing over whether they had ever sat together on a tournament table before.
