An All-Aussie showdown was the culmination of a stacked final table down under at the Aussie Millions NLH 1K Rebuy event.
Michael Pedley and xMONSTERxDONGx Jonathan Karamalikis gave the local crowd what they wanted - two Aussies fighting for the Championship. In the end, the man that won a Aussie prelim back in 2008 was the winner as Pedley collected over 122K AUD with the victory. Karamalikis, obvisouly, was second.
djk123 Dan Kelly's third place finish was his second big showing this week at the Aussie - Kelly won the PLO event earlier this week - certainly a good start to the year for djk123.
Sad to see Marvin Rettenmaier and Michael Benvenuti go so early. Both players were game for a go at the title but, neither was able to get things going early - Benvenuti's struggles earned him zero PTPR Points for the effort while Rettenmaier, who was the chip leader coming into final table play, managed to earn 5 PTPR Points.
