The PokerStars.net ANZPT Queensland Day 1A Brisbane flight has also wrapped up - the chips have been cut down, counted and listed. From a tense start to a fast finish - those who survived the carnage on the felt today will return on Friday afternoon to continue their quest for the first PokerStars.net ANZPT Queensland title.

Chip leader is Brisbane local Andrew Jennings, who takes a stack of 107,850 forward - second overall behind Danny Joukhadar who amassed 116,175 at Jupiters today. PokerStars Qualifier Scott Kerr sits in second place on 93,800, while Paul Gibson (92,375), Luca Mazzocchi (77,300) and Paul Hill (65,400) round off the top five.

Other notables to survive today included Greg Shillig (43,825), David Steicke (37,900) and PokerStars Team Australia Pro Tony Hachem (34,525), the current ANZPT overall points leader, who keeps alive his dream of making the cash in all five ANZPT events in the first year of the tour.

Players looking for an early double-up on day two include Australian poker media pioneer Darryl "The Dazzler" Lanyon (13,300), Mitchell Carle (11,700) and short stack Peter Matusik (7750).

The casualty list was extensive. Young online whiz Brendan Rubie was the first elimination in Brisbane. Overall, 54 players started on day 1A flight and 27 will make their way back to the Treasury.

Play resumes tomorrow at 12.30pm (1.30am GMT), with the second of the two day one flights. Good evening from Conrad Jupiters Hotel and Casino in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
