Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2007 12:24 pm
WOW! What can I say! What a big weekend of poker!
For those of you that don't know: Daniel Booth won flight 4 of the SkyCity Satellites, and then continued with his great form to take down the main event! He played the two days like a seasoned pro, absolutely dominating the final table. And for his troubles he takes home a funky looking trophy and $85,000. Daniel is a 19 year old commerce student who works part time, but plays regularly at the Bombay Bicycle Club.
A special mention also to Andy Grantham, a regular at the Goodwood, who won Flight 3 and then finished 13th in the main event taking home $3440.
I would like to add that all of our qualifiers played in a field of 124 runners, containing some of the best players in Australian poker: Joe and Tony Hachem, Gary Benson, Josef Berec, Angie Italiano, Sarah Bilney and the godfather of aussie poker, Mel Judah.
Well done guys great work! Big Congratulations to Daniel! Keep him in mind, Daniel has a big poker future ahead of him.
