Anzpt Sydney

Last Week I competed in my first Big Poker tournaments. Competing against pros' from Australia and New Zealand in the ANZPT Main event. Was an awesome experience and has taken my game to a new level. I competed for 2 full days and went out in 75^th position; I felt I played well without much luck.

I was Very nervous and felt this effected my game a bit ,so looking forwarded to my next big event (Melbourne  poker champs) where I feel I will be more comfortable.

Most Memorable hand was on day 1 where I was in the Pot with pocket Fives and the flop came down King, Five, Five. It was checked my first player, then me and the third player checked. A 9 came on the turn and the first player made a pot size bet which, I thought about and decided to flat call and the third player called also. The River card Came a 3.. The 1^st player then pushed all in for about 12,000 .I didn’t have to think about this as I had the absolute NUTS (best hand possible) .I pushed all in for my 15K and the 3^rd player folded. The 1^st player showed 99 for a turned full house but was eliminated by my quad fives.

I had a great time and hope to continue to increase my tournament schedule over the coming months.
