Welcome to the 2020 Aussie Millions A$25,000 Pot Limit Omaha Challenge
After nine days of warm-up, the PokerNews live coverage of the 2020 Aussie Millions kicks off today at 14:10 pm with the first of four five- and six-figure buy-in High Roller Challenge tournaments. Culminating in the monster A$100,000 Challenge, we kick things off today with the A$25,000 Pot Limit Omaha Challenge, which unsurprisingly is the biggest four-card buy-in tournament at the festival.
Last year it was Germany's Anton Morgenstern who won the tournament, which was a new addition to the Aussie Millions schedule for 2019.
After coming into heads-up against Colombia's Farid Jattin staring at a 4:1 deficit in chips, Morgenstern mounted a resounding comeback to defeat his opponent and take home A$530,640.
Year | Winner | Country | First Prize | Entries | Total Prize Pool |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2019 | Anton Morgenstern | Germany | A$530,640 | 67 | A$1,608,000 |
