Aussie Poker Tourney Goes to Scottish Player

Huntly takes A$226,812 This week, the 2012 PokerStars.net Australia New Zealand Poker Tour was ended by a triumph of Scots poker ace Gordon Huntly in the main event. On the occasion, the magnificent Scot took the A$ 226,812 first as a reward for outplaying the other 460 entrants in the event. The final table saw some intense action between Huntly, Liam O'Rourke, Anthony Aston, Stewart Ballard, Jason O'Brien, Oliver Speidel, Craig Blight, Bradley Lancken and Martin Rowe. After Jason O'Brien headed for the exit in fifth place, more disciplined play took place, in which Huntly and a dominating O'Rourke managed to the heads-up. Surprisingly, it took Huntly only a half hour to ground down O'Rourke's chip advantage and eventually take the game, leaving O'Rourke with a second placing paycheck worth A$ 144,754.
