A good proof of that could have been seen at the Aussie Millions’ inaugural event No Limit Hold’em $1.100, which was played at the Crown Casino in Melbourne. A total of 1143 players took part at this prestigious event, breaking in that way a new record of participation.
It is worth to mention that one of the main reasons why live tournaments have become so popular is due to the great amount of satellites organized at the main online poker sites, which have made possible for many players to assist to this kind of competitions.
During the final minutes of this tournament, Mattew Ephraums proved his skills with the cards and defeated Brendam Edmonds, bringing home a fantastic prize of more than 200.000$ AUD.
The list of players that finished in the first positions is:
-Matthew Ephraums - 200.025$ AUD
