Seat 6: David Gorr (2,370,000)
David Gorr may be one of the least well-known players on today’s final table, but if you’ve ever taken a stroll through the Crown Casino poker room, you are bound to see him battling it out.
With results in the Australasia region dating back to 1998, Gorr has been an avid tournament player since he first took up the game. A regular for nearly every tournament at his beloved Crown Casino, Gorr can be found playing anything from the $25 rebuy to the $10,000 Aussie Millions Main Event!
Grabbing cashes in Australia and New Zealand, Gorr has never really ventured overseas to take to the felt – and why would he – as he has had so much success here logging upwards of $160,000 (poker results in Australia are scarce before 2004) in tournament earnings.
Apart from notching up a few small buy-in victories, Gorr’s breakout performances have never included major tournament wins, but instead deep final table runs.
In 2008 he finished runner up in the Aussie Millions Pot Limit Holdem event for over AUD$35,000 while finishing on the final table in three separate regional championships for five-figure scores. His final table appearance today will not only be his first Aussie Millions Main Event cash, but also another notch on the belt of making championship final table appearances here in his hometown casino.
