Yogo Just Ahead at ANZPT Perth Final Table
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
After a frantic day at the tables of Crown Perth in Western Australia, the latest final table on Season 5 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour has been set. In the end it was Iori Yogo who bagged up the most chips and will now start the ANZPT Perth final table with the chip lead.
Beginning at 12.30 p.m. local time everyone involved was gearing up for a long day. After all, there were 33 players remaining and we needed to first burst through the money bubble and into the 24 money-paying positions before making our way to the final table. However, to say it was a quick day is an understatement.
Within 90 minutes we had lost eight players and we were on the bubble. Inevitably one player would be going home with no money for their time and that unlucky player was John Dichiera. With that we were in the money and marching toward the final table.
One-by-one players went home with some bittersweet cash in their pockets. Some of those to finish in the money, but fall short of the final table, include Ivan Zalac (24th), John Lane (21st), Fabian Craib (20th), Milan Gurung (19th), Ricky Kroesen (17th), Robert Forward (16th) and Peter Woodworth (15th).
With 14 players remaining we were sure the action had to slow down eventually. How wrong we were. The next hour or so of play would see five players eliminated and just like that our final table of nine was set just four and a half levels after the day started.
As alluded to earlier it is Iori Yogo who is the chip leader of the final table. It won’t be an easy ride to victory for Yogo though, with players like [Removed:480] and Dale Marsland hot on his heels. Some others like Luke Brabin, David Evans, David Fragomeni and James Broom may be the final table short stacks, but they have proven to be formidable opponents over the last few days and are certainly still in with a chance. Check out the ANZPT Perth final table draw below.
