721 players entered this year’s Aussie Millions main event.  It was shaping up to be a final table of legend with about 10 players left, with the likes of Randy “Nanonoko”Lew, Sorel Mizzi, Patrik Antonius and Chris “Moorman1″ Moorman all still fighting it out.  However after a series of bustouts it was left to the less well known players to play for the top spots.  David Gorr secured the title, a particularly great acheivement as he was playing in his home town of Melbourne.

He may not be quite as cool as Farha, Ivey, and Brunson; or have the stage presence of Hellmuth or Negreanu, but Seidel sure can play poker.   Winner of no fewer than 8 bracelets, this man is to be feared in all disciplines of the game.  

 Most recently this was demonstrated again with another big score, taking 2nd place in the 2008 Aussie Millions Main Event, for a small matter of $1,000,000.  The eventual winner was Alexander Kostritsyn  who picked up a $1,650,000 check.
