Wellington poker player Daniel Cracker, won the main event title and $257,000 when he eliminated aussie Matt Konnecke(2nd prize 162,792).
Local TV star and somewhat regular Skycity player, Dan Sing, was eliminated in 4th place, when his opponent hit a four outer on the river. His $59,976 prize money will help in paying for his bar tab, when he drowns his sorrows on this missed opportunity.
And another unlucky Auckland player is Luke Stanford, who started the day as the chip leader. He finished up in 5th place and collected $46,276
