Seat 6: Vesko Zmukic (Perth, Western Australia) - 253,000 chips
46-year old Vesko Zmukic is a former professional soccer player and current coach who also enjoys the competitiveness of multi-table poker tournaments. Zmukic has been a regular on the circuit over the years, and has reached his third ANZPT final table with this result. Zmukic has two previous third place finishes to his credit, so he'd like to go a couple of places further this time around.
Zmukic actually came very close to bubbling this event when all in for around five big blinds with pocket threes against jack-ten. A ten on the flop left Zmukic in trouble, but a two-outer three on the turn brought new life and he was able to carry that momentum all the way to the final table.
