Another action-packed day at the Australian Poker Open saw 32 players take their seats last night for the $1,500 Heads Up Championship inside the lavish Club Marconi at Doltone House Western Sydney. After a brisk three rounds, only four players remained undefeated — Ricardo Bono, Andrew White, Aaron Li, and Tom Mcguire.
Today at 6 p.m., the final two matches will be played to determine who will be crowned the undisputed champion. All four semifinalists have already locked up a min-cash worth A$6,350, but each will be gunning for the top prize of A$17,600, which represents the biggest slice of the A$43,200 prize pool.

Full Bracket
The semifinal round pits Li against Mcguire, while Bono and White will battle for a spot in the finals.
Following the same structure as Day 1, each player will begin with three bullets, each worth 50,000 in chips. A player may use any of their bullets to add an additional 50,000 to their stack at any time before the start of a match or between hands. Levels will increase every 15 minutes and begin with blinds of 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big-blind ante. The finals will use the same format, with each player starting with a fresh set of three bullets.
With the title and heads-up glory on the line, each remaining player is sure to bring their A-game. Don’t miss a beat — PokerNews will be there every step of the way until one player is left standing and crowned the APO Heads Up Champion!
