Day 1 of the AU$2,200 Six-Max No-Limit Hold'em event from the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific worked its way through the first 10 levels of play. At the close of registration, 243 entries had been tallied and a AU$486,000 prize pool was generated. Leading the surviving 31 players was Alexander Antonios with 138,200 in chips.
Antonios didn't have the chip lead until the final hand of the night when he won a monster pot against former chip leader Maz Misaghian with a Broadway straight. Misaghian finished on 35,600 in chips.
The first day of this event proved fast and furious, as nearly 90% of the field was eliminated and big stacks were tossed around left and right. Notables Greg Merson, Ryan Riess, Daniel Negreanu, Jonathan Karamalikis, Brandon Shack-Harris, Jeff Madsen, Jeff Lisandro, Antonio Esfandiari, and Jackie Glazier were among the carnage, but just because they busted doesn't mean there aren't some important faces left.
Of those advancing to Day 2, you've got Phil Hellmuth, Jesse Sylvia, Tony Hachem, Bruno Politano, Ami Barer, Van Marcus, Ashley Mason, and Brendon Rubie. Hellmuth will take 82,500 in chips into Day 2, and he'll be looking for his 14th WSOP gold bracelet.
The players are scheduled to return on Friday at 12:30 p.m. local time at Crown Melbourne, and PokerNews will be on hand for all live coverage starting then.

Ryan Riess opened the action with a raise to 1,300 from the hijack. Kris Nestorovic called from the small blind, and then a short-stacked Shane Stark shoved all in for 3,425 more from the big. Riess responded by dropping a bunch of chips in the middle, and Nestorovic tossed in a single chip to call.
Nestorovic must have thought Riess had moved all in, but in reality the 2013 WSOP Main Event champ had 4,700 back. The side pot was straightened out, and then Riess moved all in after Nestorovic checked the flop. Nestorovic called and all three players tabled their cards.
Stark:
Riess:
Nestorovic:
Stark was out in front with his set, but Nestorovic was leading for the sizable side pot, though Riess was drawing good to both a straight and flush draw. The turn was of no consequence, and neither was the river. Riess missed to fall to Nestorovic, while Stark tripled his stack in the main pot.
