Australian online poker specialist David Allen has won the PokerStars Australia New Zealand Poker Tour main event in Queenstown, New Zealand.
A total of 149 players paid NZD$2,700 + NZD$300 (approximately €1,969) to enter the main event which created a total prize pool of NZD$402,300 (€263,820).
Allan beat Ken Demlakian heads up. The latter started with a slight chip lead but Allan’s aggressive play soon got him ahead before he dropped back to around 20 big blinds. However, he continued battling and with a little luck on his side rebounded from a very short stack to champion after two hours heads up play.
The final table chip counts are:
1: David Allan — NZD$110,600 (€72,000)
2: Ken Demlakian — NZD$70,400
3: Jordan Westmorland — NZD$41,200
