Nipun Java, with $2.2 million in tournament cashes including winning a WSOP bracelet last year, might have been the most accomplished player at the table. His impressive poker resume was unable to parlay him into a win, taking fifth place for A$17,035.
Antonis Kambouroglou, who has $800,000 in career cashes, recorded his eighth Aussie Millions cash after bowing out in fourth place for A$22,560.
Karlic was unable to turn his final table chip lead into his first Aussie Millions victory and exited in third place for A$28,235.
This left Australia's Chuyue Cui and Lock facing off heads-up. Lock finished on top to claim the victory and the coveted ANTON ring while Cui recorded her biggest cash to date after taking home the runner-up prize of A$44,390.
