Michael Chrisanthopoulos and Alexander Kostritsyn exchanged the chip lead a couple of times, but Michael Chrisanthopoulos is back on top. After an exciting first thirty hands, the action has slowed down a bit since the final table became four handed.

2005 Champion - Jamil Dia (NZ)
2006 Champion - Lee Nelson (NZ)
2007 Champion - Gus Hansen (Denmark)
2008 Champion - ?????

Erik Seidel (US) and Alexander Kostritsyn (Russia) are the only non-Aussies left at the final table. It's kinda weird that a native Australian has not won the Aussie Millions. It's up to Peter Ling or Michael Chrisanthopoulos to bring it home for the Aussies.
