Congratulations Huss Hassan and Peter Curtin, 2019 APL Million Champion and Runner Up!
After a thrilling four days of play and a dominant display on the final table we would like to congratulate Huss Hassan, of Georges Hall, for taking out the third running of The APL Million. Huss edged out fellow New South Welshman Peter Curtin to take home $300,000 in cash and prizes!
This is Huss' second win at a major APL tournament after he took home over $100,000 in cash and prizes at the 2015 APL Main Event in Melbourne.
The third APL Million, hosted by the Australian Poker League, saw a record breaking 1,294 players converge on The Star Poker Room for four incredible days of play. The sheer number of players saw a record breaking $1,617,500 cash prize pool with the top 135 players taking home at least $2,500 in cash.
Although only one could walk away with the coveted APL Million trophy, every player in attendance enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with friends from around the country and make new friends while enjoying all the hospitality on offer at The Star.
With the final table confirmed by Sunday evening there was a great consolation prize waiting for those knocked out as players made their way 24/7 Sports Bar for a night of socializing and exciting poker quiz event.
Sunday saw the anticipation build with the nine final table players returning to chase the glory. Huss was the man to beat as he entered the day chip leader with 12.040 Million in chips! It got down to two, with the New South Welshmen Huss and Peter, going head to head.
After six hours of final table play Huss was simply too good and was a deserving winner over Peter, who fought gallantly all evening.
