Fight Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a WSOP
GIBRALTAR, July 12, 2010-- Three-time world champion boxer Jeff Fenech (the Marrickville Mauler) has
made it to day 3 in the $10,000 main event at the World Series Of Poker in
Las Vegas. Fenech has outlasted 888poker team mate and fellow Aussie Shane
Warne, as well as the 2005 World Champion, Joe Hachem.
Fenech finished day 2 in the main event on 66,000 chips with his game
play matching that of a boxer - his aggression on the table seems to have
paid off and gave the spectators a good show. Jeff commented, "I knocked 2
people out yesterday, and they didn't get a mark on them!" His final
position on day 2 puts him at 659 out of the 1296 players who played that
day.
888poker team mate Shane Warne busted out of the main event on day 2. He
had KQ, the flop came K,2,5, and all the chips went in against an unknown
opponent. His opponent had two Aces. The turn and river were no help for
Shane, and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Team 888poker are doing well, including VIP Player Patrick Dekoster
making it to position 49 on day 2a with a stack of 197,900, and so far are
sending more than 10 players through to day three, including 888poker
ambassador and Irish champion, Padraig Parkinson.
