Fabian Quoss has won the 2016 Aussie Millions Poker Championship A$100,000 Challenge, after besting a small but tough field over three days on his way to capturing a winner’s ring, and collecting the tournament’s A$1,446,480 (US$1,012,636) first place prize.

The A$100,000 buy-in event was held at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, and attracted 30 players and 11 reentries to create a prize pool worth A$4,018,000 (US$2,812,878). Only the six players who made it to the final table subsequently saw a return on their investment, with Connor Drinan eliminating Fedor Holz in 6th, and Sam Greenwood in 5th, before Fabian Quoss dispatched him to the rail in 4th for $441,980. Quoss (K-Q) followed up by taking care of Jason Mercier (A-8) in 3rd ($602,700) to force heads-up play against Ben Tollerene for the title.
