My warmest congratulations go out to Robert Raymond from Australia on winning the opening event of 2017 Aussie Millions. It was probably his best live cash in his career. Well done to all the final tablists, too.

Why would a shortstack give up on a final table? Don't even understand that part of the article... Thats when he need to make it or break it, he obviously made it so I am happy for this guy. Nice job This is almost a quarter of a million worth US dollaridos...
time flies so quick that I even forgot that the annually January Aussie Millions was about to start, it's one of my favorite events with WPT and WSOP... and can't wait for the super high roller event. Damn playing poker in the Aussie is such a damn good feeling alongside the Bahamas right?
