Justin Walch is a 27-year old poker pro from sunny Queensland who is enjoying his biggest success on the live tournament scene. Walch's previous best live result was a 12th place in the 2011 ANZPT Sydney Main Event.
Don't let Walch's modest live record fool you, he's a bit of an online crusher. Walch specializes in high-stakes, heads-up sit and go's where he is known as one of the best, and most profitable, players in the world. Watch out if he gets to heads-up in this event!
Walch's key moment in this tournament was fading a straight-flush draw holding top pair against Patrick Mahoney. From there, Walch stayed out of trouble, but he has some work ahead of him as the final table short stack.
