Australian Features In PokerStars Sunday Millions

It was a big weekend for Australian online poker player, “ Andy McLeod ”; who scored a $76,000 result in PokerStars Sunday Millions tournament.

Starting as one of two chip leaders on the final table, “ Andy McLeod ” took a hit when a blind versus blind battle saw his AQo run in to “Fred_Brink”s KK.

“ Andy McLeod ” then knocked out 9th and 8th placed finishers as he tried to continue playing his uber-aggressive style and rebuild his stack.

As play got down to four players, “ Andy McLeod ”’s final push of AQo from the small blind over the top of the under the gun raise ran straight in to pocket rockets(AA) of “RProp” and the aussie run was finished for a nice collect of $US75,879.

Another notable Aussie online pokerfinish in the big Sunday tourney’s at PokerStars was “ADEdownunder”, who took $US3,353.40 for a 3rd place finish in the PokerStars $215Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo tourney.
