With the recent elimination of Patrik Antonius, there is now a little more room on the final table.
Consequently the Aussie Millions staff, in conjunction with the TV crew, have implemented a second dealer to only shuffle the cards in-between hands so that we can see more hands.
"Oh we have a shuffling machine now!" stated David Gorr as the new dealer - Liam - took his seat.
It's always good having competent dealers that know how to control the table with minimal mistakes, but it also helps when one of them is fairly handy on the felt too!
Liam - when not working - has collected a few tournament scores around Australia although his predominant focus is on pot-limit omaha cash games.
It is no surprise that his best result comes in a PLO event where he finished third for AUD$7,705 to go along with his three other no limit holdem cashes to amount to over AUD$11,000 in tournament earnings.
With the majority of his time dedicated to dealing some of the biggest cash games and tournaments right here at the Crown Casino, if Liam ever feels like taking a shot at the tournament circuit, then there is a chance we may see him back here... but just on the other side of the felt!
