If searching for a theme to apply to this week's APPT Sydney Grand Final, it would be difficult to argue against one of aggression or fighting.
The week started off with an unexpected poker room brawl that resulted in one player prematurely exiting the high roller's event. Outside the realm of poker, Star City had been promoting an IBO world cruiserweight title fight between hometown hero Danny Green and American Roy Jones Jr. (Both the press conference and the weigh-in were held here at the casino, and the fight itself was broadcast live in the Sports Theatre.) And not to mention, the poker tournament itself could be considered one long, 6-day fight.
Thus, in the spirit of this week's theme, Lynn Gilmartin snagged a poolside interview with Green no more than 24 hours after his victory. Lynn chats with Green about the fight itself and gets him to talk a little poker too.
