Here is an update from one of our Australia correspondants. As you know, CarbonPoker was proud to send some online poker winners to the PokerNews Cup – Australia. Here’s what Shane in Melbourne has to report on the action from Day 1A:
With the Carbon team decimated by 2 late withdrawals there was only one runner on day 1A, impser.
After watching a fair chunk of his play today I have renamed impser “The stone faced Estonian”, he is a rock at the table giving nothing away in his demeanor. Hour after hour after hour he can’t be broken.
Through to the dinner break impser was just under the average stack, still well alive but not moving to far ahead.
With the blinds at 200/400 impser limps in from middle position only to have a know blind thief raise it up to 4k. Without blinking impser plonks down a stack of his biggest chips, roughly 20k. The original raiser went into the tank thinking long and hard before folding and showing pocket 8’s. The stoney faced impser didn’t show his hand, never giving away more information than he has to.
After hitting a low of 13k impser had a late rush in the last session of play and has survived day one and with 65k in chips he is just under the average of 69k with 49 players remaining in flight 1A.
So with a perfect 100% record from day 1A expectations will be high when flight 1B kicks off tomorrow!
We’ll be sure to keep you posted on all of impser’s action throughout the PokerNews Cup. GL, man.
