The second of three starting days in the Aussie Millions Main Event is in the books and WSOP bracelet winner James Dempsey sits on top of the leaderboard. Dempsey, who also has a World Poker Tour title to his credit, finished the day with 189,000. Right behind Dempsey is Ilir Beluli with 182,700.

Both players still find themselves trailing the big stack from Day 1a, Brett Watson, who finished his starting day with 257,400.

A total of 187 players took to the felt on Day 1b putting the field at 340 with one starting day yet to come. Of the 92 players who survived the seven levels of play were Kenna James (151,400), Tom Dwan (107,400), 2010 champion Tyron Krost (56,400) and Vitaly Lunkin (40,300).

There were also some familiar faces who hit the rail on Sunday. Mel Judah, Marvin Rettenmaier, Shawn Buchanan, Tom Koral, Jeff Rossiter and Tristan Wade all busted before the end of the day.

Tournament organizers are anticipating Day 1c to bring the largest starting field with over 250 players expected.
