state of origin hand

[polarbear27]

Grant Levy opened for a min-raise on the button to 4,000 only to have James Obst three-bet to 10,000 from the big.

Levy instantly moved all in and was just as quickly snapped off by Obst.

Levy:K 10 suited
Obst:A Q
does this hand play itself or can any one fold the K 10

grant sucks, this hand is clearly why he is no longer with stars.

grant was with stars?

IMO i think this was a mistake by grant ,i know its heads up, i dont know stack sizes and K 10 is an above average hand but yeh for NSW sake i would of liked a fold.

swooped

So we could have had another shot at coming second by a smaller amount?

fair call hopefully NSW can go 1 better next year.i got a feeling grant is going to ship something big in the near future

[Strong Play]

Maybe if the rest of the NSW team had have stuck around for a bit of support instead of leaving instantly once they no longer perceived any financial gain for themselves then Grant and I may have been inspired to achieve at a slightly higher level.

It's always good to hear people from other teams say things like "where's the rest of your team? - how come they're not supporting you? - its a team event, that's not right, where are they?" when you're trying to do your best for a team.

Always next year though I guess.

edit: Esan was there til the end which was appreciated.

Heard similar things regarding some of the SA team(not supporting till the end) pretty lame IMO considering all the hype and how both teams had it all on the line to the third to last player.
Anyway grats to Grant and Joel for putting up a sick effort and James and Jarred for taking it down and any one that actually supported the event on the second day well done!

SOO will only get bigger and better!
