Earlier in the evening Alan had been languishing behind eventual runner up
player; Nick “the Gun” Nicolau, with only two thirds the number of chips, before
calling his bluff with a flush. Once the momentum swung his way, he never looked
back and went on to win holding an unsuited 9 and 10.
Alan took home $62,000 and a seat at this year’s WSOP Main Event and online
roulette at Harrah’s Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for his
efforts. “It’s just an amazing feeling. To win the Peter Peko poker title
earlier in the week and then to go on and take out the big one is just
unbelievable,” commented Goodrum.
The Christchurch Casino was the first casino in New Zealand to offer poker on
its gaming floor, and hosted the inaugural New Zealand Poker Championships that
same year. Since then the tournament has gone from strength to strength with
this year’s tournament attracting a record field of over 150 including roulette
and current WSOP Champion Joe Hachem and 2006 Crown Casino Aussie Millions
Champion Lee Nelson.
“It was like multi tabling online as a spectator” commented management, “And
with the big screen and commentary you could follow the action around.”
The week kicked off with a Celebrity Poker Tournament for charity, which saw
local celebrities going head to head for charity. The final was a show down
between singer James Reid and international cricketer Brendan McCullum. The
eventual winner was Brendan McCullum who picked up $20,000 for his charity,
Plunket, while James Reid entertained the crowd with a selection of his songs
after the tournament finished.
With the online roulette over, the real poker action got underway beginning with
the Canterbury Champs where local boy Matt Lawry saw off Craig Daken from
Auckland to keep the trophy at home. This was followed by the Peter Peko
Memorial Tournament, a Pot Limit Holdem’/Omaha event held in memory of Peter
Peko, the seven times Australian Poker Champion widely considered to be the best
poker player to have come out of New Zealand. This was another hotly contested
tournament with Alan Goodrum once again proving too strong for the rest of the
field.
The next two events on the schedule were the New Zealand No Limit Omaha and
South Island Champs. The New Zealand No Limit Omaha Championships was the first
online roulette tournament of its kind held anywhere in the world and
proved hugely popular. Following the conclusion of the South Island Champs the
players were treated to a dinner where they were entertained by New Zealand
comedian and avid Poker Player Mike King, and had the opportunity to question
current WSOP Champion Joe Hachem.
The main event was run in two heats of over 75 where the field of 150 was
whittled down to 40 for the following day. Early casualties in the first heat
included 2006 Crown Casino Aussie Millions Champion Lee Nelson. Joe Hachem made
it through to roulette the next day, but by midnight only Goodrum and Nicolau
remained.
