Gordon Huntley is the latest Champion on the Australian New Zealand Poker Tour.
Huntley (2012 PTPR Rank: 137th) wasn't the man who most had selected as the favourite heading into final day play but he refused to go away, eventually picking up his first tournament win on the circuit.
The man who Huntley defeated heads up, Liam O'Rourke, carried a monster chip lead as final table play began but eventually had to settle for second.
The one who most had selected as the one to watch on Sunday wasn't able to live up to his name. Oliver Speidel was second in chips as Sunday play started and most believed that Speidel would eventually take the title.
Sadly, Speidel (2012 PTPR Rank: 7th) - the reigning Aussie Millions champion - wasn't able to do better than 7th, and wasn't able to add to his PTPR Points total for 2012. A win and Speidel would have move to #3 on the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year race.
