downtrou wins a seat in ANZPT

Following on from an epic week of poker with the Aussie Millions and Auckland online players ‘sampleOG’ and ‘magicNZ’ winning satellite seats to the ANZPT in Adelaide, we didn’t think it could get much better. But on the eve of Australia Day, Melbourne based Kiwi ‘downtrou’ has just secured one of the last PokerStars satellite seats in the ANZPT in Sky City Adelaide in February.

With  final table dominance having been in last position for over 3/4 of the tournament, left little doubt once he hit the final table. As the chip leader with 30% of all chips in play (over 210,000), he was obvious for at least a 6th place berth.

He will be joined by a huge support crew and as someone who witnessed his game from hand 1 to gaining a final table seat with the highest chip stack, I can confidently say he will definitely be one of the dark horses to watch.

Poker NZ will be at the ANZPT blogging all the results as they come to hand.

Congrats to downtrou, sampleOG and magicNZ, you lads go make us proud!
