What a final hand to end a fantastic event, and with that, Shurane Vijayaram has become the 2017 Aussie Millions Main Event champion.
Vijayaram’s AUD$1.6 million victory came after a relatively short heads-up battle with an amazing river call to end the event. Unfortunately for Ben Heath, his all-in jam on the river didn’t get past Vijayaram, who took his time evaluating the entire hand before making one of the best hero calls.
For Vijayaram, the win marked one of the most amazing poker stories. Only a week ago, Vijayaram entered a Sunday night $130-rebuy tournament here at Crown Casino and won himself a seat into the Main Event.
