Congratulations to Mike "SirWatts" Watson, who bested the field of 108 players to take down this $1,150 no-limit hold'em rebuy event, taking home $129,920 AUD.
Watson has close to $2.5 million in career tournament winnings. He's no stranger to the live tournament circuit, as he already owns a WPT title.
He took down the stacked final table with ease, going up against top pros like James Obst, Stewart Scott, Gary Benson, and even ex-cricketer Shane Warne.
This tournament may be over, but the $100,000 Challenge is not. Be sure to follow the Live Reporting Team who are up in Studio 3 bringing you all the action from the felt.
