Dale Marsland will carry Aussie hopes in the final

Day 3 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour (ANZPT) Perth Main Event has come to a conclusion, and the nine players who will advance to the final table have been decided.

It is Iori Yogo who will hold the chip lead with a stack of 993,000, and the Japanese star will be hopeful of claiming the title at the felt.

But Yogo is closely followed by Dejan Divkovic who bagged 904,000 chips at the end of Day 3, while Dale Marsland carries Australian hopes in third with a stack of 674,000.

While Marsland is some way behind the two frontrunners, he'll be hoping to win an early hand and get himself in contention once the final gets underway.

Whatever happens, the eventual winner of the ANZPT Perth crown will have bested a field of 219 players in order to get their hands on the title and become the third ANZPT champion of Season 5.
