Jarred "FlopNutsOnYou" Graham is having a great series here in Sydney for the PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final. He's already successfully defended his title in the High Roller's event and is currently sitting towards the top of the leaderboard here.
Graham is quickly becoming a fixture in some of the biggest events in Australia. He's had numerous finishes in his homeland and already with well over AUD$200,000 in tournament earnings this year. Included in his resume are wins at the Joe Hachem Deep Stack Series at Crown Casino in Melbourne and at the Sydney Championships right here in Sydney. He took second in the 2009 Melbourne Texas Hold'em Championship High Roller Event and also has a cash in the Aussie Millions back in 2008.
Graham has grinded his way throughout this tournament and yielded a big stack most of the time. No one seems to be able to put a chink in this guy's armor and he's setting up for a very deep run. Already guaranteed some money in the Main Event, it will be once heck of a series for Graham once completed.
Lynn caught up with Jarred earlier in the week about his double High Roller Event victory:
The flop came down
and action was first on Formosa. He checked over to Aalders, who bet 100,000. Formosa folded and dropped a little bit to 940,000 chips. Aalders moved up to half a million.
