Welcome to Day 2 of the WSOP APAC Event #5 $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha
![[user153638]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Yesterday, 73 players entered the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific Event #5 $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, but after 10 one-hour levels of play, just 19 of the remained with Jamie Pickering and his stack of 105,900 leading the way. However, late registration is open until the start of Day 2, so that number could very well go up as last-minute hopefuls enter for their shot at a WSOP bracelet.
The only other player who will start the day with six figures is 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel, who bagged 102,000 on Day 1.
Not too far behind are Ismael Bojang (96,600), Geoffrey Moony (96,200), and Mike Watson (92,200), while Australian Poker Hall of Famer Jason Gray, who finished runner-up to Jeff Lisandro in Event #3 $1,650 PLO yesterday, is eyeing up even more PLO success as he starts the day seventh in chips with 75,800.
Others who will be returning for Day 2 are Aaron Lim (45,000), Richard Ashby (39,600), Jeff Rossiter (35,200), John Dalessandri (17,400), Billy “The Croc” Argyros (12,300), and Dan Heimiller (5,200). Likewise, the $5,000 PLO was the first event of the WSOP APAC for 2012 WSOP Main Event champ Greg Merson, who arrived in Melbourne yesterday after some nightmarish travel delays. Merson, who begins today with 63,800, spoke with Senior New Editor Chad Holloway about those delays:
Action will kick off at 12:30 p.m. local time, which is about a half hour from now. Of course the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to capture all the action from the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia, so stay tuned.
