Phil Willcocks has posted a couple of nice results this year, having final table finishes in both the 2011 APPT Melbourne and the 2011 ANZPT Melbourne. Willcocks will be looking to post similiar results here in Macau and is off to a good start.
The action was started with a raise to 1,000 from middle position. Willcocks then three-bet to 2,000 and the original bettor decided to make the call.
The 
flop brought about checks from both players as the 
hit the turn. This time Willcocks would bet 3,000 after his opponent checked the play to him.
When his opponent's cards went into the muck, Willcocks took down the nice pot and added to his growing stack.

Joe Ebanks is now sitting in front of one of the biggest stacks in the room and caught a recent hand which added to his stack.
We came to the action with a board showing 
and Ebanks in the pot with one opponent. At this point, Ebanks dropped a large stack of 5,000-denomination chips onto the felt - more than enough to cover his opponent. The player thought for some time before letting go of his hand and sending the pot to Ebanks.
