Seat 4: Jeff Rossiter (1,235,000)
Unknown to many – even those that have been involved in the Australian poker industry for many years – finding some information on Jeff Rossiter is one of the toughest tasks endured by the PokerNews team this Aussie Millions!
Our search took us to Vincent Wan who has had some interaction with Rossiter on the cash game felts of Crown Casino.
Hailing from Adelaide, but now based in Melbourne, Rossiter spends the majority of his time grinding the cash games here from anything above the $2-5 NLH stakes. Having experience online, Rossiter spends most time playing cash now but does dabble in MTTs and decided to have a crack at the Aussie Millions main event.
Although spending a few thousand on satellite efforts, Rossiter has definitely reaped the reward after winning his seat as he is now guaranteed an AUD$130,000 payday which will leave him with plenty of buy-ins for his usual game.
Quoted by Wan as “having a lingering laugh,” it is without doubt that we may hear this if Rossiter can emerge from the bottom of the table and have the momentum swing his way as he makes a run at the AUD$2,000,000 first prize.
