Gill Played "Perfectly", "Crushed" Everyone and Busted

[user162117]

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

“I really thought this was the tournament I was gonna win, I had the chip lead, I was crushing everyone,” Oliver Gill told us over here at the media desk.

“From one hundred and ten thousand to out in one orbit,” he added.

The final hand for Gill apparently started when he defended the big blind with after Stev Lackovic had opened to 2,300 from early position. The flop would see Gill check-call with his flush, he then check-called a bet on the “brick” turn and donk led for 17,800 on the “brick” river. Lackovic jammed and Gill called off another 10,000.

Lackovic held for a higher flush and that was that.

“That’s something like 12 or 13 ANZPT Main Events without cashing,” Gill quipped as he strolled past the media desk. “I just wanna leave Perth, but I have to stay two more days, play the high roller and inevitably run up a stack and bust before the cash.”

“At least you won table tennis,” ANZPT President Danny McDonagh said with a laugh.

“It’s just absurd, It seems like a total meltdown, but I played every hand perfectly,” Gill added as he continued to talk to himself, and anyone who would listen as he wandered around the Crown Perth poker room.
