The annual Aussie Millions is underway right now, with thousands of players making their way Down Under to take part in the various tournaments on offer. We are sending several players to the Main Event this year, but even the preliminaries have plenty of action.
CarbonPoker’s very own Alex Luck is one of our staff members tirelessly working in the Fraud department to maximise security and process payments correctly. This year, he travelled to Melbourne, Australia and found success in the very first event of the schedule, a $1100 buy-in No Limit Hold’em event.
Alex was just one in a field of approximately 530 players, and eventually made it to the final table and a seventh place finish, good for a prize of $16,110. This feat also includes busting WSOP Bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro along the way!
Alex’s final hand was a coinflip against player Michael McDonald, who raised pre-flop with a pair of fours. Alex pushed all in with his AK, and was called. The flop came down KQ4, giving Alex a pair but a set for McDonald. A queen and a jack followed, meaning Alex failed to improve and was unfortunately eliminated.
An outstanding result, and everyone here at CarbonPoker extends their highest congratulations! Well done Alex!
