Swannack Slips, But Remains In Form

Another multi-way pot saw seven players commit 300 preflop to see a 
flop fall.
The big blind fired out 850 and Cole Swannack was the only caller before the small blind check-raised to 2,250. Both the preflop aggressor and Swannack made the call as the 
rolled off on the turn and a 3,200-chip bet from the small blind was enough to collect the pot.
Swannack slipped to 16,500 after that pot, but the local New Zealander is in a rich vein of form.
Earlier in the year at the New Zealand Poker Championships in Christchurch, Swannack managed a second place for NZ$33,000 before following it just a few weeks later with a third place in the PokerStars.net APPT Macau Main Event for HK$1,177,600.
His two deep runs in just a matter of weeks equated to just under $175,000 in tournament winnings - and although he is too young for the World Series of Poker - Swannack will hopefully look to better both finishes and capture his maiden tournament win here in Auckland.
