An Orbit w/ 2013 Aussie Millions Runner-Up Joseph Cabret
Poker is a game of patience, and that's something Joseph Cabret knows all too well. In last year's Aussie Millions Main Event, Cabret navigated the 629-player field to make it down to the final table. It was there that he squared off against some stiff competition that included Jay Tan, [Removed:17], Dan Shak, and Patrik Antonius.
Cabret began that final table fifth in chips, but he played a patient game and eventually found himself heads up against Mervin Chan. Cabret was unable to seal the deal, but he still took home AU$1,000,000 for his runner-up finish.
Cabret is in today's field, and we decided to spend an orbit with last year's runner-up.
Hand #1 (Button): Cabret began the orbit with 25,000. The player in the cutoff opened for 625 and Cabret quickly folded the button.
Hand #2 (Cutoff): The under-the-gun player opened for 450, the hijack called, and Cabret released from the cutoff.
Hand #3 (Hijack): Action folded to Cabret and he does the same.
Hand #4 (UTG+1): The under-the-gun player folded and Cabret followed suit.
Hand #5 (Under the Gun): Cabret was first to act and folded.
Hand #6 (Big Blind): One by one the players folded to Cabret and he received a rare walk.
Hand #7 (Small Blind): The hijack opened for 500 and Cabret folded when action reached him.
It was a lackluster orbit to say the least, but remember, poker is all about patience. Clearly Cabret has some.
