We mentioned before that Sorel Mizzi, who is in today's field, has had a lot of success here at the Aussie Millions. In 2009, he finished 16th in the Main Event and then followed that up with a third-place finish the following year. Then, in 2011, he made his second consecutive final table, ultimately finishing in ninth place.
Here is a look at that final table:
2011 Aussie Millions Main Event Results
| Buy-in | Entrants | Prize Pool |
|---|---|---|
| $10,500 | 721 | $7,210,000 |
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | David Gorr | $2,000,000 |
| 2nd | James Keys | $1,035,000 |
| 3rd | Jeff Rossiter | $700,000 |
| 4th | Michael Ryan | $450,000 |
| 5th | Randy Dorfman | $325,000 |
| 6th | Samad Razavi | $225,000 |
| 7th | Chris Moorman | $175,000 |
| 8th | Patrik Antonius | $130,000 |
| 9th | Sorel Mizzi | $130,000 |
As you can see, it was quite the field. We also happen to know that Randy Dorfman, who actually began that final table as the chip leader, will be returning to the Aussie Millions this year, though he probably won't arrive in time for the Opening Event.
