Congratulations to Ross Parkhill, the latest winner at the Aussie Millions! Parkhill was able to fend off 32 opponents on Sunday to pickup the coveted gold ring.

The tournament, which started as a standard bounty tournament Saturday, transformed into a shootout on Sunday, where the last two remaining players at each of the four tables met up for a final table showdown.

Parkhill (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) defeated Michal Polchlopek heads up. Polchlopek (2011 PTPR Rank: 2091st) earned a WPT Venice score last season.

Jamie Pickering (2011 PTPR Rank: NR), 2011 Aussie Millions Rebuys winner Oliver Speidel (2011 PTPR Rank: 346th) and James Obst (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) were other notables that finished in the Top 8.

Day 1 chip leader Melanie Weisner (2011 PTPR Rank: 1156th) had a tough day on Sunday. Things looked good as the day started but, unfortunately, it wasn't too long for Weisner - the new Lock Poker Pro - to hit the rail.



FINAL TABLE PAYOUTS (in AUD):
1- Ross Parkhill 119,500
2- Michal Polchlopek 73,000
3- Sam Capra 50,000
4- Mark Betts 34,000
5- Jamie Pickering 24,000
6- Oliver Speidel 16,000
7- Adam Cusenza 13,000
