Live Poker Updates

The Sydney ANZPT Main event has come to an conclusion with Dejan Divkovic coming oh so close to back to back championships after his victory in Perth only last month.

The final table was a gauntlet of talent and featured most famously Australian Hall of Famer Gary Benson.

Eventually Dinesh Alt would take down the title after some epic back and forth at heads up and he takes $226,320 for his efforts.

The next stop on the ANZPT's Season 5 will be at Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia for the ANZPT Repechage event held May 30 through June 3. The schedule for the ANZPT Repechage is looking amazing with several $50 midday madness events running so there is a game for everyone’s budget.
