APT PHILIPPINES: SPEIDEL SCORES BUT MISSES ANOTHER GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

PICTURE: POKERNEWS

It's hard to complain if you're Oliver Speidel. The man won the Aussie Millions in January, picking up 1.6M AUD is surely nothing to take for granted.

But, a case can be made the Speidel has left a lot of money, and QJ/PTPR Points, on the table ... for the second time this season, Speidel has missed a golden opportunity, heading into a final table with a ton of chips yet, not being able to deliver the goods.

Speidel was the overnight chip leader as the APT Philippines Main Event was setting up for final table play.

Sadly, Speidel could not get it done and could only muster fourth place points.

Still, Speidel (2012 QJ/PTPR RANK: T-6th) does collect 8 valuable points and manages to move up a few spots on the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Leaderboard, powered by PTPRpoker.

Divan Le Roux was the eventual winner, defeating Conrad Coetzer heads up. Le Roux picks up 197K USD for the victory.

David Steicke was ninth in the event, Toto Leonidas 12th and McLean Karr 15th.
