WSOP Teams Event

Sid Guna and Justin Wong are the 2017 WSOP Sydney Teams Event Champions! - $27,138

Posted Wed, 13 Dec 2017 3:43am

There are few things more amazing for a poker player than winning a WSOP title. Perhaps the only thing that is better than that is doing it with your friends. That is certainly what has happened here tonight. Not only have Sid Guna and Justin Wong formed an amazing team together to take home this title but there close friends in the poker community were here to cheer them on every step of the way!

This is the first WSOP Gold Ring for both Guna and Wong, but for Wong, his joy is mixed in with a small bit of fear.

"This is the first time I have played a Teams Event with Sid," Wong told the Star Poker Live Reporting Team. "I normally play with my girlfriend and I might be in a bit of trouble getting this result without her." 

The comment was made in jest but obviously made in jest but regardless, Whilst we have never met Wong's girlfriend we are quite sure all will be forgiven when he walks in the door with a WSOP Title, an exclusive Gold Ring and his share of the $27,138 first prize. 

His teammate, Sid Guna, explained that the win was just a process of cutting everything down into bite-size pieces. 

"At first we just wanted to get a jacket," Guna told us, referring to the very stylish jackets awarded to all players who make the final table.

"Then when we made the final table we thought it would be really cool to be top three. Then when we were heads up we said let's go for it and see what happens."

What happened was a fantastic display of poker. Wong is a tournament player and Guna a cash game player and the two used their unique set of skills to put together a force to be reckoned with at this event.

It wasn't easy though, their heads up opponents Matthew Pongrass and Mark Fester are well known on the local Sydney circuit and have an impressive list of results. Declan Russell was at the final table with his partner, Robert Liu, they have put some impressive results together later and should certainly be marked down as players to watch. Another player we have been watching for year's is Todor Kondevski, he played with his wife Nada and they made the final table together, falling agonisingly short.

Jimmy Briggs Jr and Kayci Hill are also well known as mainstays of the Sydney poker scene. It was a hand against these two which Champion Justin Wong puts down as a crucial turning point in the tournament.

"The hand against Jimmy (Briggs Jr) where we had  and we had  and he flopped top pair and we made a straight on the river. That was the turning point. We should have been gone there but we survived."

They didn't just survive, they prospered, all the way to their first WSOP title. Guna is already through to Day 2 of the Main Event and Wong will look to qualify through the flights held at the end of this week. Perhaps that will lead to another shot at WSOP glory in the $2 Million Guaranteed Main Event, and perhaps Wong will invite his girlfriend this time!

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the elimination of defending champions and Star Poker's favourite couple, Michelle and George Psarras.

Michelle held pocket aces when all-in against the Ace, King of her opponent and in the cruellest of ways a King hit on both the flop and the turn. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be this year, but Michelle and George will be back with a vengeance as they always do.

The Dream is starting to become a reality

Posted Tue, 12 Dec 2017 11:37pm

Michelle and George Psarras came here with one goal in mind. To defend the title they won here in the 2016 WSOP Teams Event by taking out the 2017 edition tonight.

Whilst this may have been the stuff of fantasies when play began, Team Psarras is starting to make every post a winner.

They recently doubled up by getting pocket 10's all in vs pocket 7's. 

They have currently got around 140,000 in chips which puts them right near the top of the apex in this tournament!

Lewis 'L0RD GINGE' Murray is definitely living on borrowed time in this teams event

He has gotten his money in bad repeatedly tonight, much to the frustration of his partner Dinesh.

Murray just moved all in for their final 50,000 preflop and was called by the player to his immediate left.

George 'Two First Names' Carlos raised to 15,000 from middle position. It folded to a late position player who moved all-in for 50,000. Carlos pulled out the old 'double fist pump snap-call'!

Carlos:

Mr Busto lived up to his name and is now Busto. George Carlos is now over 120,000!

"Ayrii be peco!"

That's what was heard being yelled by Bassam Habib as he stormed out of the Star Poker Room.

Habib had left his teammate with 90,000 chips and a real chance to win this tournament. He went into the bathroom for five minutes to find out that the Magician had flushed all 90,000 of them down the toilet!

Habib was left wondering why he continuously chooses Peco Stojanovski as a partner in these events.

If anyone else is interested in playing with Bassam Habib in future events he is currently accepting applications. Please email them to shu.habibi@yalla.com

Kool's chips are calm and collected

Henrik 'The Viking' Nilsson and Andrew 'Cleveland' Tomarchio have been eliminated from the tournament.

The Viking was at the helm of the ship and looked down at  under the gun and moved all in for their final 14,000.

This seemed like a good idea but started getting questionable when a second player moved all in over the top. It turned into an absolute disaster when a third player also moved all in.

Nilsson:

Daniel Fishop raised to 3,000 from the hijack and was called by Luke 'Upside' Downs on the button. It then folded to Andres Vasquez in the big blind who is allegedly a member of 'Team Irish' (although that is literally the least Irish name I have heard in my life). Vasquez moved al in for 10,000.

Posted Tue, 12 Dec 2017 9:33pm

Katia Chami raised to 2,200 from under the gun. It folded to the small blind who made the call and then with the action on Sailendra 'Sonny' Sha, he moved all in for his final 1,800. Given this was 400 chips less than the current bet, it is fair to say he had zero fold equity.

The flop came  and with the action on the small blind player they checked, Chami also checked and we saw a  turn.

The small blind checked once more. This time, Chami bet 2,000, the player in the small blind called and we saw the  hit the river.

The small blind once again checked, Chami also gave up and checked behind.

Chami showed  for the nizzles preflop, the small blind mucked and Sha showed  which was good for second place and a spot on the rail.

Dropping like flies!

Posted Tue, 12 Dec 2017 9:24pm

We are down to just 114 teams in this event.

The accelerated structure of the event has a lot to do with this. Blinds are currently 600/1,200 and the average stack is 21,578 which is good for about 17 big blinds.

Vidaic beats The Man

Josip Vidaic opened for 3,600 and was raised to 9,000 by Stan 'The Man' Levitan.

With the action back on Vidaic he raised to 26,000 only to have Levitan move all in, effectively putting Vidaic all in for 31,000 in total.

Vidaic made the call.

Team Han-Wong Eliminated

The Han-Wong team is one of the most revered and feared names in the Sydney Poker Community. However, there has been some trouble in paradise for the poker power couple.

Instead of playing in this team event, Luke 'Will Work for Fuel Burgers' Hanna has joined the ranks of the Star Poker Reporting Team. Amanda Wong was not going to let a good thing die though so she replaced Luke with another Hanna, Neyif Hanna. 

This hasn't worked tremendously well as Han-Wong 2.0 have been eliminated from the tournament.

They lost most of their stack when an early position player moved all in with  and they called from the big blind with  . The  hit the flop and Han-Wong 2.0 was down to just 300 chips.

Mosh Pit

Posted Tue, 12 Dec 2017 7:05pm

We just tried to go out and find some hands to report on but the Star Poker Room looks more like a mosh pit than a poker tournament at the moment!

There are currently 230 teams registered which means there are 460 players plus dealers, supervisors and waitresses all jammed into the room at the moment.

It lends to a great atmosphere with plenty of yelling and cheering ripping across the room, does make finding hands to report on a little bit difficult though.

We just got our hand runner, Luke, to go and look for some hands. He was last seen crowd surfing over to the other tables.

What do you mean no breaks?

Posted Tue, 12 Dec 2017 6:30pm

As we have teams of two alternating, there are no breaks in the Teams Event. The levels keep rolling on and on. 

Great news for the players, but spare a thought for the poor, over-worked tournament reporters...

As there is no break for late registration to end it ends after level four, which should be approximately 8:15.

How it all works

Posted Tue, 12 Dec 2017 6:25pm

Each team starts with 10,000 chips.

The first player sits with 5,000. If he busts out the second player comes in with the second 5,000. 

If the first player survives the first level then the second player comes in for level two and adds his 5,000 to whatever player 1 has gotten their start stack to.

Team members then alternate each level until they either bust or are crowned WSOP Champions!

Go Team!

Posted Tue, 12 Dec 2017 6:16pm

The Teams Event here at the 2017 WSOP Sydney is underway! Numbers are expected to be massive, there are still lines of people streaming out of the poker room trying to register for this event.
