Erik Seidel, del Team Full Tilt Poker, ganó 2,5 millones de dólares australianos en el evento “Super High Roller” de un costo de entrada de 250.000 $AUS.
El evento se jugó en el Crown Casino, Melbourne, el miércoles pasado y atrajo a 20 jugadores. Al llegar el bote de premios a 5 millones de dólares australianos, los organizadores cambiaron la estructura del evento para ya no conceder todo el dinero recaudado al ganador – que hubieran sido 5 millones. El tipo de cambio de dólares australianos a dólares norteamericanos es de 1 a 0.99, entonces 2,5 millones AUS son 2.479 millones gringos. Así se explica que el buy-in de 250.000 $AUS fue el más caro de la historia del póquer. Full Tilt Poker, la sala que más presencia tiene el Aussie Millions, mandó a Chris Ferguson, David Benyamine, James Bord, Roland de Wolfe, Tom Dwan, John Juanda, Annete Obrestad, Phil Ivey, Andrew Feldman y el eventual ganador Seidel.Seidel superó al inglés Sam Trickett en el heads up. Trickett, un nuevo fenómeno en torneos, se llevó 1,5 millones de dólares australianos mientras el francés Benyamine salió en tercer lugar con 1 millón.
