Super High Roller
Phil Ivey has gotten the best possible start to the new year. First he finished 12 in the Aussie MIllions Main Even for $100,000, then he took down the $250,000 Super High Roller event for amazing 2,000,000 AUD. Quite impressive since the tournament attracted players such as Sam Trickett, Tom Dwan, Jason Mercier, Sorel Mizzi, and last year's champion Erik Seidel.
Final table results:
1 Phil Ivey A$2,000,000
2 Patrik Antonius A$1,200,000
3 Gus Hansen A$800,000
