Aston Looking for More Sydney Success
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 10
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
Former ANZ Player of the Year runner-up and previous third-place finisher of this very event, Anthony Aston, has just added some more chips to his large stack.
It was against Milan Gurung and we arrived on the 
flop with almost 20,000 already in the pot. Gurung was in the cut-off position and checked it to Aston, who bet 11,000. Gurung decided not to call and the chips went to Aston.
Aston is now up to around 130,000.

Brett No Threat to the Big Stack
Level 10
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
Michael Pinzone’s large stack has grown some more.
Picking up the action from a 
flop, It was Brett Chalhoub versus Pinzone.
Pinzone was in the big blind and checked it to Chalhoub, who bet 3,700. Back on Pinzone and he would raise to 7,200. That amount isn’t a full raise, so it was forced to be a min-raise to 7,400. Chalhoub now made it 16,300 to go and after a few moments, Pinzone called.
On the 
turn, Pinzone again checked and this time Chalhoub bet 17,200. Pinzone had a look at Chalhoub’s stack, saw he had around 60,000 behind and then put in a raise. Pinzone put out around 30,000, which wasn’t enough to raise yet again, but this time before the dealer could even say it was 34,400, Chalhoub had folded.
“Did you flop it?” asked Chalhoub to no response except a few laughs.

Poker Is Easy
Level 11
: 900/1,800, 200 ante
Josh Barrett has just told us about a massive hand which happened just prior to the break.
Apparently Barrett held 
in a three-way preflop all in pot and was up against... Yep, you guessed it, and 
.
Barrett faded a flush draw and scooped the massive pot.
In the past Barrett has played a lot of these ANZPT events, but over the last twelve months or so Barrett has been kept busy in other business ventures.
He might play more poker after this little escapade though.
"Why did I ever stop playing? joked Barrett. "Poker is easy."
