We just had a quick wander through the Oasis Room and saw Tom Wing take down a nice little pot. It all started when a player from middle position opened it up and Wing then three-bet from the hijack seat. A call would see some cards dealt on the felt.
Both players checked the flop and the turn as a board rolled out . On the river, Wing's opponent bet 1,025 and Wing made the call.
Wing's opponent confidently turned over , which quickly went into the muck as Wing turned over his .
He's not one you would expect to see at a $2,200 ANZPT Sydney Main Event, but it's not surprising that Dan "djk123" Kelly is already building a big chip stack.
The biggest hand to add to add to Kelly's stack began when a middle position player opened it up to 375. Kelly was in the small blind when he made the call and the big blind player also threw in enough to see a flop.
The flop would see Kelly check, along with the big blind player. The original aggressor then led out for 700. This is when Kelly made the check-raise, throwing out 2,400. The big blind player made the call and the original aggressor got out of the way.
The on the turn would see Kelly lead out for 4,200. This prompted his opponent to shove all in. Kelly snap-called and turned over his , well ahead of the of his opponent.
The river fell with a and that was all she wrote for Kelly's opponent as the prominent young player now storms to the top of the chip counts.
A couple more faces have been noticed in the field. Both Brendon Rubie and Tony Hachem have been seated at Octavian Voegele's table in The Star Poker Room.
As we passed Liam O'Rourke's table there was a board showing and O'Rourke was in a hand with one opponent. At this point there was over 5,000 in the pot and the action was checked to O'Rourke who bet 3,200.
O'Rourke's opponent thought for some time before calling and seeing O'Rourke turn over . That was enough to send the of his opponent into the muck and rake in the chips.
