1. Current chip leader and ANZPT Sydney Champ Jim Psaros. Also having a great Day 2 is start-of-day chip leader Hyeong Wook Choi. He began the action with 131,100 in chips and has run it up even further to 295,000 now to maintain one of the top spots. Unfortunately for the chip boss from Day 1A, Min Jae Park, the same can't be said.
2. Jim Psaros would take a small lead into what turned out to be an entertaining heads-up battle. The chips went back and forth on a number of occasions and when the chips evened up once again, the two decided to an even chop at $175,000 apiece, leaving $8,000 and the title in the middle to play for.

After five long days, the latest stop on Season 7 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour drew to a close on Monday evening at The Star Casino in New South Wales, Australia. In the end, it was Jim 'The Doctor' Psaros who overcame a field of 445 entrants to be crowned champion.

Psaros started the final table as the chip leader and never looked in danger all the way to the heads-up battle with Adelaide's Emanuel 'Curly' Seal.

Throughout the final table, however, it was Denis Sekuloski who looked the biggest threat. During the early stages of the day, Sekuloski played a part in the elimination of Chung Liew (9th), Tom Rafferty (7th), and Zhi Ma (6th).

While Sekuloski played table captain, Psaros had been building his stack at a steady pace until he looked down at the in the big blind when faced with an all-in shove from Li-ta Hsu with the . The pocket aces held up and with that, Hsu was eliminated in fifth place and Psaros once again found himself as the chip leader.

Seal had been relatively quiet up until this point, but ultimately picked up the pace when he eliminated Murray Roach in fourth place. Roach shoved all in from under the gun for around 15 big blinds holding the and Seal made the call from the big blind with the . Seal's pair held up and so Roach was on the rail.

The remaining players opted to flatten the payouts a little when three-handed action begun and it wasn’t long after that when Sekuloski was eliminated in third place. Sekuloski ultimately got aggressive with the on the turn of a board and ran into Seal's for a flopped set of twos. No miracle on the river and as per the revised prize pool structure, Sekulsoki pocketed AU$90,000.

Psaros began heads-up with a slight chip advantage, but eventually the chips were even and that's when the two players opted to make a deal. It was an even chop of AU$175,000 each and that left AU$8,000 for the champion. Following the deal, it would take just 30 minutes for Psaros to chip away at Seal and for the final hand of the tournament to play out.

With blinds at 100,000/200,000, Psaros limped the button and Seal checked. The dealer spread out a flop and Seal quickly moved all in for 1.7 million. Psaros announced the call and turned over the for the king-high flush draw. Seal, meanwhile, simply cringed as he showed the for a smaller flush draw. No help on the turn or river and Seal was deemed the runner-up, while Psaros was the champion.

The next stop on Season 7 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour is several months away with ANZPT Melbourne taking place at the Crown Casino from October 8-20, 2015.

  Australia New Zealand Poker Tour

Nine players came back yesterday looking to seize the day in Sydney and, as is always the case with tournament poker, only one was standing tall at the end of play. His name is Jim Psaros and he will take home $183,000 for his efforts.

Although it is not that common for the final table chip leader to win the tournament, this time there were no surprises. Psaros started the final day as an overwhelming leader over the pack and turned that lead into a victory.

When the cards started flying through the air yesterday, the average stack was quite short - just about twenty big blinds - and a few fast eliminations were expected. Those expectations were duly met as four players hit the rail in quick succession.

During the first half-hour of play, two players had their dreams crushed. Chung Liew was, expectedly, the first to go, as he returned with a mere four blinds in his stack. Shaneel Chand lost the very first race that could have marked his comeback and was eliminated in 8th place.

Tom Rafferty followed suit soon after as he also couldn’t hold in a crucial flip and was eliminated in seventh place. Zhi Hong Ma was eliminated in 6th when his ak failed to improve against the pocket Queens of Denis Sekuolski.

After those four eliminations, the remaining players were finally able to find some breathing space, as they caught up with the blinds a little and the game slowed down. Players were still not very deep, and certainly not deep enough to do anything against coolers.

Flopping two pair can be a great thing, but it can also be the hand that costs you your tournament life, as Li-ta Hsu of Taiwan (the only non-Aussie at the final table) found out when his bottom two pair turned up against the top two of Emanuel Seal. It made a huge dent in Hsu’s stack and he was eliminated moments later when he ran into the pocket Aces of Psaros. Some days there is just nothing you can do. Li-ta Hsu received $48,000 for his performance in Sydney.

Murray Roach was the next to fall, as his a8, on average a very decent hand in four-handed play, fell short against Seal’s pocket Jacks. Seal added some more ammo to his stack, while Roach pocketed $62,000.

And then there were three, and the trio decided to strike a deal. This worked out pretty well for third place finisher Denis Sekuloski, who pocketed $90,000, $10k more than he would have otherwise.

As Sekuloski made his exit, Jim Psaros and Emanuell Seal were left to fight it out for the title. Although Psaros started with a small lead, neither player could really break away and they eventually agreed to make an even chop, taking $175,000 each and leaving the extra $8k and the trophy on the line.

The final hand saw the pair get their chips in the middle on a board reading jqq, with both players holding a flush draw. Psaros held the King of Hearts, however, and as the board bricked out, Seal’s Eight-high was left in the dust.
