Inner West poker pro Paul Georges dominates the pack at the conclusion of Day Two.

Georges is joined at the head of the pack by Richard Dilkes 230,000, and Justin Aaron a short way behind also.

2007 Champ Rodney Davidson, Troy from Wollongong and APL General Manager Jason LeongIt Ain't Over Yet!
2007 TOC Champion Rodney Davidson may have been eliminated from the Main Event, but that doesn't mean he's any further from the action!
Rodney has donated $1500 to charity as the APL auctioned off two 3x1 meter APL TOC banners. Rodney won the first flag for himself, at a bid of $700.
The former champ then continued to bid on the second flag, determined to present it to his biggest fan, Troy from Wollongong who has travelled all the way to The Cube to meet his idol in Rodney.
The money raised is to be donated to Miracle Babies! -
