APPT MELBOURNE: RAZAVI EARNS BIGGEST WIN OF POKER CAREER


It's a career win for English poker pro Samad Razavi (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-120th). After 100K and 200K USD pickups in 2011 (winning the UKIPT Cork Main and final tabling the Aussie Millions) Razavi earned over 325K AUD for the big win at APPT Melbourne in Australia earlier today.


Razavi came into final table play second in chips, but, was the favourite coming into FT play given his live tournament playing experience and his previous results on the circuit.

Tom Grigg (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-609th) - who entered final table play as the chip leader - finished third in the event.

Brendon Rubie (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 35th) - who finished second at the WSOP NLH 4-handed event this past summer - was the first man out. It was a very disappointing result for Rubie, who had his eyes set at the 2012 Player of the Year Top 10 with a victory here at the Crown Casino.
