Kazuhiko Yotsushika Leads Aussie Millions Main Event Day 2
Japan's Kazuhiko Yotsushika had a busy Flight 3 of the 2020 Aussie Millions Opening Event, eliminating players left, right and centre, and as his reward he gets to be the pace-setter at the head of the pack with 388 players returning for Day 2.
With a total field of 803 players so far, and late registration open until the start of the second level on Day 2, it remains to be seen whether last year's record total of 822 can be beaten.
Behind Yotsushika comes Kahle Burns (231,700) and Andrew Theakstone (207,300) who are the only other players over 200,000 in chips.
Today is a shorter day compared with the three starting flights, with just five 90-minute levels scheduled, meaning the tournament will bag up for Day 3 at around 9pm local time.
