Defending Champ's Freeroll Comes to an End
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Back at the 2012 Aussie Millions, Tyron Krost won the Tournament of Champions Event — which invited all former Aussie Millions winners to an invite-only freeroll. As a result, he won free buy-ins to the Aussie Millions Main Event for life.
Krost cashed in on it a year later when he finished 41st in the 2013 Aussie Million for AU$20,000. He was looking to add some more off the freeroll, but his attempt just came to an end at the hands of Benjamin Pollak.
We missed the elimination as it happened, but according to a player at the table Krost busted after a preflop raising war saw him get his stack all in holding pocket jacks against Pollak's kings. The board ran out clean and the 2010 champ hit the rail.
