Last Aussie Standing: Jim Sachindis

Jimmy "Satch" Sachindis is the last Australian still remaining in the LA Poker Classic. He's among the chipleaders with 350K. Sachinidis made a final table at the 2007 Aussie Millions and took 3rd place in a $1K event. Since it started later in the day, he entered a tournament at noon. When the final table began, he was two-tabling!

He ended up getting into a dispute with the TDs and was told that he was not allowed to play multiple tournaments at the same time. Sachindis argued that if he was told earlier, then he would not have spent $1,6000 in tournament fees and re-buys. TD Danny McDonagh was called over and after a discussion, Sachindis was allowed to play a few hands in his second event due to the miscommunication between another tournament supervisor and Sachindis. The TD stood by the table to watch Jimmy play his hands in order to protect the integrity of the game and to insure that the tournament chips being used are the same.
