2015 ANZPT Melbourne Day 1b: Hyeong Wook Choi Leads Record-Breaking Field

What a massive day it was at Crown Casino for Day 1b of the 2015 ANZPT Melbourne Main Event.

When it all began, the tournament staff and the ANZPT team were hoping to see a field of around 300. That would mean the tournament would reach a seven-figure prize pool for the second consecutive year. By the time registration closed, 314 players had hit the felt, putting the total field at 520 players with the prize pool weighing in at AU$1,066,000 — trumping last year's efforts and setting a new ANZPT record.
