The structure was lavish, giving players an extremely long time to find their cards. There is no doubt that Lunardi earned his victory today.
One just needs look at the opponents that he had to overcome on the final table including Tony Dunst, Daniel Neilson, and Leo Margets.
Kristian Lunardi's victory caps off a crammed schedule of events here at the Aussie Millions Poker Championship. In all 20 events were played, as well as countless satellites and side games. The championship and the Crown Poker tournament staff, as well as the players, proved once again why this is one of the world's most popular poker tournaments.
We hope you enjoyed the PokerNews coverage of the series, and that you will join us for the next series of events that we are covering.
Until then good night (good morning, or good afternoon) and thanks for joining us!
