As the sun started to rise in beautiful Melbourne, Phil Ivey shipped the $2,000,000 first-place prize after defeating Patrik Antonius heads up, officially welcoming himself back into the poker world as if he had never left. It was just a handful of months ago that Ivey disappeared from live tournament poker before returning in November at the APPT Macau. He didn’t cash there, but here at the Aussie Millions, Ivey made a couple of really big splashes. First, he placed 12th in the Main Event for $100,000, and then went on to ship the largest score of his career by winning the Super High Roller. The event attracted 16 players, all of whom ponied up the massive six-figure buy-in to take part in the event. The top three spots were set to be paid and a bubble of $800,000 was in store.

On his final hand, Negreanu was all in from the big blind with the during the 25,000/50,000/5,000 level for around 750,000 after Antonius raised to 100,000 from the button.
