![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The second of four Day 1 flights for the 2016 Aussie Millions opening event will kick off inside the Crown Exhibition Hall across the street from the Crown Poker Room just minutes from now.
Wednesday's first flight drew some 160 players with 26 surviving through to Day 2 and even more are expected this evening.
Players will begin with 10,000 chips and plans to play twelve 40-minute levels with a short break after every three. Registration is open through the first six levels. As a repechage event, players can re-enter any of the remaining flights if they bust out.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand for all the action from start to finish sometime around 3 a.m. Friday morning and you can follow along right here.

Ranchhod Doubles Up Early
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
After a three-way flop of 
, there was a bet of 750 by a player in early position and Fred Ranchhod min-raised to 1,500. The player in the big blind, who had been very active early on, now squeezed to 5,000 and the action was folded to Ranchhod. He moved all in for another 4,750 on top and was paid off for the following showdown:
Ranchhod: 
Big Blind: 
The 
turn didn't lock up the hand yet, though Ranchhod left his chair in celebration already. However, the 
on the river did so and Ranchhod high-fived with a friend on the rail.

Technical Difficulties; Break
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
The players have been sent off on a 15-minute break just one level into play.
Some technical difficulties with the lighting in the room left them playing in the dark and when the level ended, a decision was made to halt play in an attempt to fix the issue.
