After three grueling Day 1 flights, 320 surviving players combined into a single Day 2 field on Wednesday at the 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event. The poker players on hand at the Crown Casino in Melbourne included Joe Hachem, Scotty Nguyen, Patrik Antonius and Tony G, but it was two young women who led the field at the end of the day. Annica Ivert and Annette 'Annette_15' Obrestad locked up the top two spots on the leader board as the field neared the money.
Mark Vos and Phil Laak were among the early casualties as the field shrunk rapidly to less than 100 survivors. Vos started the day on the short stack and never got anything going on Day 2, and Laak took a tough beat to send him to the rail. Laak moved all in on a
flop and was called by an opponent with 
. The 
on the turn gave Laak only two outs to survive, and the 
on the river wasn't one of them. Other early eliminations included Saidal Wardak, Neil Channing and Billy "The Croc" Argyros.
