ANZPT Auckland Main Event – David Lim Wins
Posted by: Randy Williams - Mon, 2013-11-25 10:42
The SKYCITY Auckland Casino played host to the first stop of the
PokerStars-sponsored ANZPT’s 6th season and the first Main Event is already in the books. The first winner of Season 6 is thus David Lim, who took down the title on Sunday. At the start of the final table, Lim – who became the first Aussie to win an ANZPT Main Event in Auckland – was second in chips, so he was in a pretty good position indeed. By the time the heads-up stage of the
poker tournament was reached, it became obvious that an Aussie would win it, since it was an all-Aussie affair by then. The one Lim defeated heads-up for the win was Nathan Gubieski.
Lim picked up NZD 110.7k for his win, and thus he was the only player to climb into 6-figure territory prize-wise.
12 players returned to the tables at the beginning of the last day and it didn’t take them long to send the first player packing. The first victim of the day was Jason Cook. He was followed to the rail by Raybon Kan and Angela Brewster. When the final table was reached, start of the day chip leader Amant Nauhria still had the largest stack. Eventually, Nauhria put together a more than decent run, but finishing 3rd for a NZD 39.6k prize was still a disappointment for him. His last chips went into the middle on a Qc,9c and he was obviously dominated by Lim’s Ac, Jc.
Dean Stevenson was the first victim of the 9-handed final table. He picked up NZD 10.6k.
Brad Stafford and Nicolas Oger made the top 10 as well. Paul Gahan finished 4th, right behind Nauhria.
The beginning of the heads-up stage of the action found Lim with a 2-1 chip lead. He made short work of his opponent, wrapping out the heads-up bout in 15 minutes.
