Fenech and his opponent could be seen standing around the table, a typical race in progress.
Fenech:
Opponent:
It wasn't much of a race, as the flop just so happened to contain a duece in the window, turning over . All but over, Fenech's opponent would need runner-runner to take down the champ.
The turn card was the . Hopes of a runner-runner gone, Fenech would rake in all the chips!
Jeff Fenech can not seem to put a foot wrong early in the tournament, getting the help of a couple of pairs of kings and hitting quads... Thankyou very much for those apples sir.
Dale "daleroxxu" Philip is no stranger to playing tournament poker, crushing games online for the last few years. But Philip will be looking to take down some big live results, starting with the 6-max event at this years Aussie Millions.
Folded to the player in the cut off, he made it 450 to play. Philip made the call from the dealer button and the two blinds came along for the ride.
Flop:
The players checked around to the young agressive player and living up to his reputation he lead out for 1,000. Dropping like flies the rest of the players got out of the way and Philip took down the pot, his aggressive reputation in tact.
With 1,125 in the pot a flop showed with Jeff Fenech in a hand against two opponents.
Fenech lead out for 800 and couldnt manage a caller. Fenech hesitated to throw his cards in the muck, eventually tabling .
With cries of "Again!", from players at the table it can be safe to assume that the champion boxer has been getting a few pairs of kings of late. Getting kings can't hurt ones plight to grow a chip stack, with Fenech now holding around 12,000.
Simon Watt has played with the best in the world and beaten the best in the world, taking down Tom Dwan to win a WSOP bracelet. It's safe to say that he has played in some high pressure situations. But has he sat with one of the most aggressive winners in the world to his left?
While mabye not aggressive in the traditional 'poker' meaning, three-time World Champion boxer Jeff Fenech sure knows what it takes to use well timed aggression to take down a victory. The only difference here is that there is less punching and more betting. Simon Watt will have to watch out if he doesn't want his chip stack K.O'd by the champ!
It seems there has been a space in the Casino reserved for those who made the final table of the Opening Event. Sitting at one of the far tables in the room is gold ring winner Martin Drewe, the table to Drew's left sits 6th place finisher Antoine Bechara and right behind Drewe is 4th place finisher Nik Lackovic. A reunion of sorts!
Our PokerNews reporter came to the action with a flop reading over and with Jackie Glazier faced with a 600 chip bet. A call would see a turn card.
With the on the turn came a couple of checks until the river card put a stop to the friendly play with the agression kicked back into action.
Glazier's opponent led out for 1,500. Glazier went into the tank for a quick dip, only to come out drenched in defeat as her opponent turned over too good for the cards of Glazier as they hit the muck.
As we continue to spot more and more notable players taking to the felt today there is still a line at the tournament registartion booth stretching over ten tables deep.
