Pokerstars are discussing the ANZPT final table line-up

next :

Seat 1: Paul Gibson, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia (352,000 in chips): Down to just 30,000 in chips with 11 players remaining, this 35-year-old from Brisbane clawed his way back into contention for the title in dramatic fashion. Currently out of work, he’s been playing poker for two years and elected to roll the dice by buying in for the full $2500. He’s cashed in past events at Crown in Melbourne but this looms as his biggest ever tournament payday. “It’s just awesome to have a tournament like this in Queensland, at last,” he said.

We rate PokerStars pretty highly, but you can read how they compare to their rivals over at our sister site, Golden Rule Of Poker

Seat 2: Phillip Willcocks (PokerStars Qualifier), Auckland, New Zealand (536,000 in chips): One of only two internationals at the final table, this 26-year-old from Auckland qualified for ANZPT Queensland via PokerStars, as was the case when he placed 21st in the 2008 PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final in Sydney

You can find all the other final table player profiles in Sunday’s full length post at the PokerStars blog.

Day of rest? No way - UltimateBet are rocking on :

I’ve been back in the UK for about ten days now and haven’t had a chance to rest at all because last weekend was Sonisphere, a new rock and metal festival near London. It had my dream lineup of bands - Metallica, Alice in Chains, Paradise Lost and of course Anthrax, to name a few! If you don’t know by now, fellow UB pro Scott Ian is the guitarist and driving force behind Anthrax, so I was over the moon when I found out they were playing. Scott of course sorted us out with the best possible AAA passes enabling me to swan about all over the festival including the band areas where there was a plethora of free food, drink and even haircuts!

Anthrax played on the first day and absolutely blew everyone away with their performance. These guys are as hard and heavy as ever and it was a real treat to watch them play with their old singer John Bush. The rest of the weekend was of a similar ilk with more loud music and long hair than you imagine, finishing with standing on the side of the stage to watch Metallica. What more could a girl want?

What more indeed? You can find out for yourself at the UB blog, where the full post reveals all. As for us, we’re saying bye for today’s roundup - Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, after all…
