Dennis Huntly was up to a high of 200,000 recently, but then fell to around 100,000. Now he has steadied at 150,000.
We recently arrived at Huntly’s table to find him and big stack Matthew Edwards on the turn of a board. Edwards had led for 8,400 and Huntly had raised it up to 26,400. Edwards eventually decided to fold and the pot went to Huntly.
Huntly’s best finish in the ANZPT Melbourne Main Event was 32nd in 2010.
2005 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Hachem has been short stacked for much of the day and we recently watched him shove all in preflop two times in a single orbit. Hachem received no action, so picked up some needed blinds and antes. Hachem has around 30,000 which is good for 15 big blinds. Lot of work to do!
Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang has recently fallen to around 200,000. Huang informed us that the main pot he lost saw him run into . Apparently the hand played to showdown on a ten-high board. Huang still has double the average stack.
It started when he opened it to 4,300 from middle position. The action then folded around to the small blind and Wakeman was then three-bet to 16,000. Back on Wakeman and he moved all in for 40,500. A snap-call would see Wakeman table , which was up against .
The flop was scary for Wakeman, giving his opponent a flush draw, but the turn and the river was safe and so Wakeman is now up to around 90,000 - just under the average stack.
Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang was having a great Day 2. Early in the action he was far and away the chip leader.
Not anymore.
A massive hand recently started when one player, holding opened it up to 6,000. Huang then three-bet to 17,000 and the player moved all in for around 80,000. Huang snap-called with .
It was looking like Huang would once again be our overall chip leader, but then two jacks were dealt on the board and Huang had lost the massive pot.
Yvo Molin is one of the many international players here at the ANZPT Melbourne. The Dutch native, who now resides in Thailand, is looking for his first ANZPT cash, but he’s got his work cut out for him after doubling up a short stack.
When the player on the button shoved for his last 17,200, Molin made the call in the big blind with an above-average , but found himself dominated by .
The board ran out to see the shorty double and leave Molin on just 15,000 in change.
