This one had almost ten times the buy in of the main event in australia, but almost the same prize for the first place, since it had only 42 players in. Lot easier to be in the paying positions now, but you had to risk way more money to get paid Nice all time winnings for the winner.

I personally think it is not very good to ppay these events because too big buyin and too small amount of players, so risk is very big. Better tp play smaller buyin events where you can havr many times more buyins and play in events where many people play

This genre of tournaments are very difficult for these professional players. One place is paid out of 7 players. Those who make these calculations for the prize poo,l he should have added a place or two and instead of 6 places in the money, to exist 7 or 8 happy players. Where the buy-in is huge prizes must be adjusted. Congratulations to the winners.

Congratulations to Cary Katz! I think I heard of his name somewhere. Isn't he a billionaire and a regular at high-stakes cash game tables also? AUD1,481,760 is not a lot of money to him, I guess. Congratulations also to Kristen Bicknell for her sixth-place finish. She has consistently been getting great results.
