The 2011 Aussie Millions Main Event came to a closure finally today, when David Gorr managed to capture the title.

The most well-known player in the final table, Patrik Antonius, was sent to the rail in eighth place after having his pocket kings outflopped.

In the Heads-Up play Gorr outlasted James Keys, below you can read how the final hand was played:

"Hand #415: James Keys raised to 225,000 and David Gorr called to see the flop come down {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Gorr checked and Keys bet 275,000. Gorr called.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts} and Gorr checked. With two hearts now on board, Keys bet 650,000. Gorr quickly check-raised to 1.65 million. Keys didn't act so quickly. He thought for a bit and then moved all in. Gorr quickly snapped him off, but did so with the worst hand.

Gorr: {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Keys: {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Keys had the lead with two pair, sevens and threes. Gorr held top pair with kings and a gutshot straight draw. Gorr would need to hit a five for a straight, a six or a four for a better two pair or a king for trips on the river in order to win the match and the tournament. If not, he'd be crushed and back on the short stack.

With the crowd standing, the dealer dealt a dagger on the river with the {4-Spades}! Gorr had come from behind to win the hand. Thanks to his recent double up, Gorr had the chip lead and Keys covered. That meant he won the tournament and sent Keys home in second place for AUD$1,035,000"
