2009 Aussie Millions

Matt Dietrich Wins Event #17: $1,100 No Limit Hold'em (AU$42,900)

In the end it was Matt Dietrich who shot to the lead after eliminating two players with his pocket kings when four-handed, to claim a big chip lead entering heads-up play. However, Raemin Alexander fought back to get his nose in front, only for Dietrich to reclaim the lead and ultimately hang on for victory.

He overcame a field of 159 players to capture the title, the Aussie Millions Gold Ring and AU$42,900 in cash. Congratulations Matt and to all of our cash winners.

Well, that's 17 events down and only one more to go in the 2009 Aussie Millions. For our international viewers, tomorrow is a public holiday down under for "Australia Day" -- a day fitting for the enthralling battle that will be the 2 Card Manila Australian Championships! We'll be here once again tomorrow from 12:30 p.m. for the final day of the 2009 Aussie Millions. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you again tomorrow.
