Just Two More

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

It's back to play for the remaining players in the 2012 ANZPT Sydney Main Event. Two more levels and its all over for the night.

Mishel Gets Them Back

We just found out about an interesting hand which took place right before the dinner break. It involved Mishel Anunu and Didier Guerin as the two players yet again traded chips.

It started when Guerin opened the pot preflop holding {j-}{j-} and Anunu flat-called holding {a-}{a-}.

Flop: {j-}{q-}{10-}

With that flop you can imagine that plenty of chips would be going in the middle. Well, that's exactly what happened as Anunu got his entire stack in and Guerin made the call.

The turn and river bricked out as the broadway fro Anunu sees him back up to almost 400,000.

Gordon Gets There

Gordon Huntly has just eliminated a player in a brutal fashion. It was all in preflop, with Huntly holding {a-}{k-} and his opponent holding {a-}{a-}.

The board ran out with {a-}{q-}{j-}{10-}, giving Huntly the straight, while his opponent hit a set which mean very little.

Tobin On The Way Back Up

The action was opened to 12,000 by Tobin Ryall in the hijack. The player in the small blind made the call and some cards were dealt on the felt.

Flop: {7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Spades}

On the flop, Ryall's opponent led for 17,500. Within a few moments, Ryall had popped it to 47,500. That act of aggression was enough to send the player's cards straight into the muck as the Day 1a chipleader is still hanging in there with plenty of chips.

A Look At Last Season

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

As you very well know, this ANZPT Sydney event is the first stop on the fourth season of the popular tour. But what happened in season three, you may ask?

A total of 1,746 players took part in Season III of the ANZPT, creating a total prize pool of AUD$3,692,040.
During that time, numerous stars arose including Octavian Voegele, who won $148,900 after defeating 253 players at the ANZPT Adelaide. Likewise, Grant Levy conquered a field of 220 players at ANZPT Perth to win a $131,500 prize.

Finally, how can we forget Lee Nelson’s win at the ANZPT Melbourne for $156,550, giving him an ANZPT title to go along with his 2006 Aussie Millions Poker Championship crown.

All in all, season three was a very memorable one and it seems like this season is shaping up to be just the same.
