Clinton Taylor:
Andrew Hinrichsen:

The board came and local qualifier was eliminated in 4th place for AU$483,000 in his very first Aussie Millions.

"I play a lot of poker at home, pub poker and the like," Taylor said in his interview afterwards. "I satellited in for $130 and made it through and got a ticket to the Aussie Millions

"I knew I'd get here [to the final table]. I really did think I was going to win it. The twos and fours I got unlucky. I'm here to play so I've gotta go for it.

"With these people playing full time they try to intimidate you but play how you play. That's how it works. I played my game the whole time and look where I got!

"This week it was crazy. It went up and down like a rollercoaster. Then when you hit the final table I wasn't nervous. And with the pros that you play against, full credit to them, they give you support and advice and I hope I'll be as good as them one day."
