Event 19: $2,200 6-handed No Limit Hold'em

Day 2 Completed

Congratulations to Kristian Lunardi; Event No. 19: $2,200 Six-Max No Limit Hold'em Champion ($118,580 AUD)!

At 5:35am after a grueling 15 and a half hour day, Kristian Lunardi has been crowned champion. The tournament itself started with 245 runners and took nearly 30 hours in just two days to complete.

The structure was lavish, giving players an extremely long time to find their cards. There is no doubt that Lunardi earned his victory today.

One just needs look at the opponents that he had to overcome on the final table including Tony Dunst, Daniel Neilson, and Leo Margets.

Kristian Lunardi's victory caps off a crammed schedule of events here at the Aussie Millions Poker Championship. In all 20 events were played, as well as countless satellites and side games. The championship and the Crown Poker tournament staff, as well as the players, proved once again why this is one of the world's most popular poker tournaments.

We hope you enjoyed the PokerNews coverage of the series, and that you will join us for the next series of events that we are covering.

Until then good night (good morning, or good afternoon) and thanks for joining us!

Mike Stecker Eliminated in 2nd Place ($78,400)

The final had came with Mike Stecker raising off the button to almost 100,000 and Kristian Lunardi calling.

Lunardi checked the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, and Stecker fired out 95,000. Lunardi then check-raised to 215,000.

"Sicko", said Stecker. After counting off the calling amount he made the call. The turn was the {8-Spades} and Lunardi instantly announced all in.

This sent Stecker into the tank and after a good while of tanking he looked over to the PokerNews reporters and said, "You guys aren't going to blog this up, if I call will you". He continued to muttered numbers and sums out loud and finally said, "I can't fold, I call".

He tabled {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for both a flush draw and open-ended straight draw going to the river.

Lunardi had {A-Spades}{5-Clubs} but still had plenty of outs to fade. The {3-Spades} river was a great card, because it wasn't one of Stecker's outs.

Congratulations on Kristian Lunardi on his victory.

Lunardi jumps ahead 1.7 million to 700,000.

More Lunardi

Kristian Lunardi is now edging out towards a 2:1 chip advantage, dominating the heads up play. Lunardi limped in from the button and Mike Stecker called.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{q-Spades} and Stecker check-called a 35,000 chip bet. They both checked the turn {2-Hearts}, and Stecker check-called a further 65,000 on the river {k-Clubs}.

It would be a wasted effort, Lunardi rolled {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades} for the win.

He leads 1,540,000 to 890,000 in chips.
