Tony Dunst Says Aussie Millions "Was Easier To Play" Having Only 15 Percent of Himself

The 2016 Aussie Millions Poker Championship is in the books, with professional poker player Ari Engel taking home the Main Event title to the tune of AU$1.6 million. To earn the title, Engel had to battle his way through a field of 732 players, which included Tony Dunst, the man Engel faced last in heads-up play. Dunst finished second for AU$1 million, and after his win he spoke with PokerNews' Frank Op de Woerd.

"We had a lot of the short stacks bust out at the beginning," Dunst said about the speed of play, which saw the first five eliminations of the final table take 92 hands and then heads-up play take 123.
