James Broom was under the gun when he opened it up to 12,000. Folded around to Dejan Divkovic in the cut-off and he would raise it up to 27,000. The action was then on Dale Marsland on the button and after a few moments, he opted to make the flat call. Broom decided to get out of the way.
On the flop, Divkovic led for 27,000 and Marsland called. Both players then checked the turn and the river.
At showdown, Marsland turned over and Divkovic mucked.
"I thought you were being sneaky with that flat on the button," said Broomn as Marsland raked in his chips. "You were hoping i ship, he isolates, then boom!"
The players at the ANZPT Perth Final Table have been introduced and the cards are now in the air!
Today's action begins at 3,000-6,000 with a 1,000 ante. That means the average stack is more than 70 big blinds. We have been told having this many chips in play means the day will go quicker. We aren't too sure though.
This is it! The final day of the third stop on Season 5 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour. By the end of today an ANZPT Perth champion will be crowned, but who will it be?
Heading into the final table with the chip lead, and therefore the player best pressed to go all the way, is Japan's Iori Yogo. Yesterday saw Yogo steadily build his stack before a late surge would ensure his chip bag was the fullest.
Close behind Yogo is our one other international player of the final nine, Dejan Divkovic, while Dale Marsland is in close pursuit with the third largest chip stack. These players will face some stiff competition though, with Luke Brabin, David Evans, David Fragomeni and James Broom all having enough chip to run up their stacks and be in contention at the vital stages of the tournament.
