"Why Can't You Just Be a Good Boy and Die?"
Last week, Alex Trevallion won the AU$25,000 Challenge, a tournament that blew away expectations by attracting 104 entrants and creating a prize pool of AU$2,496,000, for AU$645,150. Then, yesterday he made the final table of the AU$100,000 Challenge, which will play down to a winner later this week. Needless to say, it's been a heck of a week for the Australia online pro, who happens to share a similar name to Sean Bean's character in the 1995 James Bond flick Goldeneye (Bean's character is Alec Trevelyan, who uttered the iconic line in the title).
Trevallion is in today's field and looking for more Aussie Millions success. In a recent hand, there was around 3,000 in the pot and a board reading when a raising war broke out between Trevallion and an unknown opponent. Trevallion ended up getting his last 18,100 all in holding the for trip sevens with a king kicker, which bested the [7xc5x] of his opponent. the river was safe for Trevallion, and he was pushed a welcome double.
