Chris Levick Wins ANZPT Melbourne Event
The PokerStars Australia New Zealand Poker Tour event in Melbourne has ended with Chris Levick defeating the playing field at the Crown Casino. Levick is an entrepreneur in Australia who has seen success behind the scenes in the poker industry so it was about time he saw some luck at the felt.
Levick has opened many poker rooms during his career in the poker industry as well as launching the Oz Poker Tour. Levick earned his entry into the tournament via a free roll which makes the win even sweeter.
Levick faced Heath Chick in heads up play after both made it past the two hundred and sixteen other players. Levick played strong during final table play and knocked out six of the nine sitting at the table. Levick held a four to one chip lead when heads up play began but Chick fought hard to remain at the table.
On the final hand Levick raised and was re-raised by Chick. Levick then decided to go all in and Chick called with pocket queens. Levick turned over A-J and an Ace on the flop secured his title win.
