The Sydney Millions Main Event attracted a total of 511 entries to the Kings Room at St. George Leagues Club. The prize pool reached 894,250 Australian dollars (~$619,205), with payouts for the top 53 players.
The final table offered plenty of thrilling moments, but the most crucial occurred in the duel between Anthony Khalil and Edwin Chiu. Khalil went all-in with Ts Th, while Chiu, who had been the chipleader for most of the day, tried doubling up with 4s 4h. The board 6h 6c Kc 8s 6d didn't come to his rescue, propelling Khalil to heads-up against Edoardo Riario Sforza.
However, the showdown didn't materialize as the players agreed on a financial deal, awarding Edoardo Riario Sforza $141,000 A$ and Anthony Khalil $170,430 A$, along with the trophy.
