The 2019 Aussie Millions AU$100,000 (approx. US$72,799) Challenge NLHE Super High Roller event attracted a player field of 42 entrants. The turnout built a prize pool of US$2,963,520 which was given away as rewards to the top six players.

The lion's share went to Cary Katz, who won US$1,066,867. The Poker GO founder currently has $18,463,931 in lifetime live tournament wins.

 

The final showdown saw Cary Katz and Johannes Becker. By the time the final hand was up, Katz was able to build around a 17-to-1 chip advantage.

Katz had a pair of 9s

Becker had K-2

The board revealed 8-8-5-2-J, therefore declaring Katz' pair as superior, earning him the title and the pot.

The 48-year-old American poker pro's recent victory catapults him to the $18M milestone on lifetime tourney cashes, and is now in 25th place in the All Time Money List.

Many congratulations to Cary Katz on winning this super high roller event and a very nice million dollar prize. These super high roller events never attract many entrants but, whoever plays, they are all top top players

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 Smile
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. Smile
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.
