Suchanek Leads Aussie Millions Event #2: $2,500 H.O.R.S.E. Final Table

Jan Suchanek will be looking to win his first Aussie Millions ring for eight years when the final table of the H.O.R.S.E. gets underway at 1 pm, with the New Zealander sitting pretty at the top of the chip counts.

However, he won't have it all his own way with former Aussie Millions Main Event winner Ari Engel sitting in second place. Also featuring is 2017 H.O.R.S.E. runner-up Rainer Quel and a whole host of other notable players from Australia and around the world.
