Canadian Wins Aussie Millions PokerPro Tourney

Canadian Michael McDonald won the AUD $1,000 PokerPro no-limit hold’em event Saturday at the Aussie Millions, and he not only won AUD $33,950 for the top prize, but will also receive a Heads-Up Challenge home poker video game machine, thanks to PokerTek and the Aussie Millions' host, the Crowne Casino.

This tournament was unique because it was played exclusively on the dealerless PokerPro machines. The event attracted 97 players. The top five follow:

• Michael McDonald, AUD $33,950
• Martin Cardlo, AUD $19,400
• Ramy Tadros, AUD $11,640
• Andrew Demetriou, AUD $9,700
• Greg Hobson, AUD $7,760  

This is Tadros’ second cash of the Aussie Millions. He also finished fifth in the AUD $1,500 bounty event for AUD $31,080.
