Aussie Millions Champions, World Champions, multiple WSOP bracelet winners, WPT titles, Australian Poker Hall of Fame members, and more...this final table had poker records that rival any in the game. It was always going to be a tough day as Lechich, Binger and Hachem found out as they were eliminated short of the money.
In the end it came down to Alexander Kostritsyn and Chris Ferguson. Kostritsyn started this tournament very low on chips but managed to rebound to build a healthy chip lead on this final table. Ferguson battled valiantly but the aggression of the Russian was too much to overcome.
The 2008 Aussie Millions Main Event champion captures another title of Australian soil, AU$95,000 in prize money and the coveted Aussie Millions Gold Ring. Congratulations Alexander!
