Photo: Chipleader Gary Lin scored a double-knockout to burst the Money Bubble in the final hand of Day 2.
The Money Bubble burst in WPT Australia last night with three players getting knocked out in the 16th hand of hand-for-hand play, so Day 3 will begin with just 73 players remaining — and they are all in the money.
Day 3 gets underway at 11:30 am, and there is about an hour and 10 minutes remaining in Level 16, with blinds at 4,000-8,000 with a big blind ante of 8,000. Once again, the field will be playing 90-minute levels, with a break after each level.
