On Sunday, the final seven players returned for the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event final table, where a massive AUD$1.6 million first prize was up for grabs! After nearly 12 hours of battle, Ami Barer of Canada was the last man standing after defeating fellow countryman Sorel Mizzi in what can be described as a record short heads-up battle.
After exchanging a few pots back and forth, Barer (who had a 3-1 chip lead when the HU kicked off) opened up the pot with a raise from the button and Sorel Mizzi announced that he was all in. Barer snap-called and turned over AA. Mizzi, who is the only player to have played two Aussie Million Main Even final tables, turned over Q8 and needed some help from the poker gods.
The flop came down 2K2 and Mizzi needed a miracle (2 Queens or 2 Eights). The turn card was the 3 and it was game over for the Canadian-born poker pro. The final card was the A and Ami Barer was officialy crowned the champion!
