Mark Kassis Wins Event #6: $1,150 No Limit Hold'em with Rebuys (AU$160,326)

[user80015]

Congratulations to Sydney's own Mark Kassis who overcame a field of 126; filled with some of the most talented poker players from Australia and the world. Not only was he crowned champion but is also AU$160,326 richer and now proud owner of an Aussie Millions Gold Championship ring!

Starting the final table in third chip position he was pretty quiet during the course of play until he reached heads up. Starting with a huge chip disadvantage to Jonathan Karamalikis; relentless aggression, solid play, a bit of luck and patience saw him dispatch the young online star on his way to victory. Congratulations to Mark Kassis for his victory and to all our final table participants and cash winners.

That wraps up our coverage of Event #6, but make sure to check out all the action from the Bounty Feature Event that is nearing its conclusion on the other side of the Crown Poker Room.
