WWPT Rivers a Royal Flush

An absolute brilliant night of poker tonight in our WWPT with the most insane hand this year to date!
22 players showed up tonight on to fight it out for a share of $2340.  With a total of 23 rebuys and 20 addons 1st prize was over $1000!

1st $1055
2nd $655
3rd $400
4th $235

Tonight had its share of bad beats!  We had Morgan with K 10 up against Vinnie with K 8, both players all in and a 30k plus pot, flop came 5 Q K, turns a 2 and you guessed it, the river an 8!

However the hand of the night had to go to Sam who was all in up against Daz, Sam with Ad Kd and Daz with Ah Kh, both looking at a chop, the flop comes 3h Qh 10d, turns a 6h, both with a flush draw and the river comes and its a Jd giving Sam a Royal Flush and a monster pot of just under 60k, unlucky Daz!

Final table and our bubble again went Noel who again left his lucky socks at home.  Noel had K Q up against Hayden with 7 7, Hayden even hit trips on the river as well.

Forced to shove Vinnie goes all in with whats left in front of him with 10 10, Hayden calls with J 5, flop comes 9 7 J, turns an A and river a K, Haydens J good enough and Vinnie out in 4th place taking away $235.

Next hand and Jordy has A 9 and raises and gets a call from Hayden with K 4, flop comes 9 K 6, Jordy shoves all in and Hayden calls, turns an 8 and river a 7 and Jordy is out in 3rd place taking away $400.

Heads up and Hayden is now the big stack and Sam well below 50% in his stack, Sam then shoves with K 5 and Hayden snap calls with A J, flop comes 2 5 A, turns an 8 and river a 7 and Sam is out in 2nd taking away $655 for 2nd and of course Hayden taking out the WWPT and $1055 for a nights work.

Remember this Saturday the 2nd of June at 1pm is our Deep Stack Freeze out Tournament.  $300 buy in and 20,000 starting stack!

Fantastic night of poker again here at Dunedin Casino!

Wednesday "Flipping Forty"

A great night at Dunedin Casino poker with a new tournament layout making some interesting changes, A new $40 buy-in with Unlimited rebuys and a single addon at the break all for 4K chips, with only 20 players showing up for the night the total prize pool was surprising.
Total prize pool reaching $2124 with a total of 17 addons and 22 Rebuys,
1st: $960
2nd: $595
3rd: $360
4th: $210

The night started a little bit slow with players trickling in through out the rebuy period  but picked up pace fast as we approached final table with a few multi knockouts.


The bubble was an all in with Aaron and Greg, Aaron holding K 5 and Greg with A K the flop came 3 7 10 the turn comes in the form of an 8 the river was another 10 putting Gregs A K as the winning hand with A high.

We then had a All-in push quickly after with Martin and Josh, Martin holding a monster J J vs Josh with a decent hand himself A Q, the fun was short lived for Martin when then flop came Q Q K, with a decreasing amount of outs for Martin the Turn came 7 followed by the river 9 giving Josh the winning hand trip Qs, Martin finished 4th overall taking away $210.

The next hand was not so action packed as the last with Josh KK and Greg A 7, Flop 5 6 J Turn 9 and river 2, with the kings on fine form winning the hand with no trouble sending Greg home with $360.

After Hau and Josh decided on a chop the final hand came down to a flip til no stack remained, Flop came down J 4 9 Josh flipping over a 5 and Hau a 2 Turn 10 no one shows and the river an A Hau turns his last card a 2 making his hand pocket 2s Josh hoping to hit any of the board almost rubbed the paint off his J giving him J 5 and the winning hand with a pair of jacks lucky for Josh his stack was just bigger than Hau sending Hau home 2nd with $700.

And to the victor goes the spoils as josh leaves with $855.
Another fun night of poker tonight.

✿✿✿ANZAC Day Terminator Tournament✿✿✿

We had 18 players show up this ANZAC Day all playing for their share of a $1700 pot. With bounties in play, the competition was fierce.

The top three were paid. They were Kirby M, Gary T and Jayden H.

Flop of K-Q-J came up, Kirby shoved all-in with K-9. Jayden called and had flopped the nuts with 10-A and with only a 4 and 3 showing on the rest of the board, there was nothing to save Kirby. She still took out 3rd place and managed to get a bounty not long beforehand as well.

Gary was the next to strike. He managed to double-up with K-K against Q-Q, but it was all over when he went all-in with K-9 pre-flop. Jayden called with Q-A. Board was 5-A-7-Q-Q so Jayden rivered the boat and took out the tournament along with 3 bounties.


Congratulations to our winners and watch this space to learn about our new up and coming Wednesday tournament.
