Roy Bhasin

Roy Bhasin is off to a perfect start after getting a triple up on the very first hand of the tournament.

Bhasin held {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

and made aces and nines on a board of {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

to overcome Tim Healy's {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

and another opponent holding {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

.

Bhasin, who collected the trophy in the $5,200 Pot Limit Omaha event at the 2008 Victorian Championships would be one of the favourites in today's field, but his early triple up is likely to dent the prize pool significantly!
