Let's Welcome The Australian Queen of Poker

Jackie Glazier battling heads up against Greg Ostrander last June

Australian poker fan favorite and World Series of Poker Event #41 runner up Jackie Glazier was just spotted in the room. Glazier nearly won her first bracelet last June when she finished runner up to Greg Ostrander for $458,996. Paul Vas Nunes, just a couple of tables over, finished third in that event.

With $915,822 in live tournament earnings Glazier ranks 24th on the female all-time money leader board, in front of players like Amanda Muscumeci, Erica Schoenberg and Liz Lieu. Being the highest earning female poker player in Australia we feel that the title Australian Queen of Poker is well deserved!

Two for Kwaysser

Valdemar Kwaysser
Valdemar Kwaysser

Valdemar Kwaysser and an opponent were heads up on a flop of {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts}. When checked to, Kwaysser fired 1,000. His opponent check-raised to 3,100, and Kwaysser called.

The turn was the {9-Spades}, the player checked, and Kwaysser tossed out 4,000. The player folded.

The very next hand, Kwaysser opened to 500 in middle position. The same player called from the blinds, and the dealer fanned {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The player checked, Kwaysser continued for 500, and the player called.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, both players checked, and the {5-Hearts} completed the board. The player led out for 600, and Kwaysser raised to 4,000. The player tank-called, and Kwaysser tabled {8-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a rivered straight.

The player was shocked to see Kwaysser's hand, and he sported a big grin while raking in the pot.

More Aussies

Michael Pedley was just spotted to the immediate left of Leo Boxel, and we also ran into Grant Levy and Daniel Neilson. Pedley won the A$1,000 Rebuy tournament last year at the Aussie Millions while Grant Levy is just coming off of a $78,940 score at the PCA when he won the $5,000 Six-Max event.

Daniel Neilson's latest result came in the Star Poker Summer Series in Sydney last December. He finished second for A$112,219, and these are three more players to look out for during this event!

Karamalikis Picks One Up

A player opened to 550 from the hijack seat, Jonathan Karamalikis three-bet to 1,200 on the button, and Lee Nelson cold-called from the small blind. The original raiser called as well.

The flop fell {8-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and all three players checked. The turn was the {7-Clubs}, Nelson led out for 900, and both players called. The {10-Clubs} completed the board, and again all three players checked.

Nelson tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a pair of aces, but Karamalikis had that beat with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a set of tens. He shipped the pot, and now sits with just over 36,000 chips. Nelson slipped down to around 19,000.

Defending Champ Struggling

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Defending Aussie Millions Main Event champion Oliver Speidel is having a very tough day so far. We recently updated Speidel's chip count to just 5,200 and he's been folding ever since.

Speidel is waiting for a good spot to get his money in with just 25 big blinds remaining in his stack.

Lee Busts One

Andy Lee recently eliminated a player on a board of {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades}. We're not sure when the money went in, but Lee held {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, and his opponent had {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

Lee's jacks full of aces were good, and he now sits with 70,000 chips.
