Four days after the dust settled on Day 2, the 2025 Australian Poker Open A$10,000 Trojan is finally ready to crown its champion at 1 p.m. today.
Originally scheduled to play out on Saturday, the final table was pushed back by a day after Kahle Burns made a deep run in the APO Main Event. Now, six players return today — Sunday, April 27 — to battle it out for the A$250,000 top prize at Club Marconi at Doltone House Western Sydney.
Noel Jaber leads the way with a slight edge over Joseph Antar, but with an elite lineup still in the mix — including Burns himself — the road to the trophy is wide open. With blinds high and chips flying, it won't take long for the action to reach a boiling point as the 85-entry field plays down to a winner.
Final Six Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |

| 1 | Noel Jaber | Australia | 2,090,000 | 42 |

| 5 | Kahle Burns | Australia | 970,000 | 19 |
| 6 | Joshua McSwiney | Australia | 830,000 | 17 |
Three players have already secured their cash payouts, with Najeem Ajez (A$23,970), Anthony Xu (A$27,970), and John Perry (A$33,960) falling just short of the final six. The remaining players are now guaranteed at least A$41,900, with A$250,000 still waiting up top for the eventual champion.
