The WPT Prime Australia Championship, featuring a buy-in of 1,500 AUD (~1,065 USD), attracted a total of 1,036 entries to Sydney. The huge turnout created a prize pool totaling 1,346,800 AUD (972,355 USD), with 131 top players sharing in the financial rewards.
The final day was notable for its completely Australian lineup at the final table. In this marathon session, Cooper Feltham prevailed by navigating key confrontations and methodically eliminating several contenders.
In the final heads-up, Feltham faced fellow Australian Ling Liu. The decisive moment came when Ling Liu moved all-in pre-flop with A s 7 h, which Feltham called with A d 2 h. The board 4 d J d 4 h 3 s 5 s came down in favor of Feltham, giving him a straight and relegating Ling Liu to second place.
Cooper Feltham secured the most significant victory of his career thus far, along with a seat at the WPT Prime Championship at the Wynn Las Vegas resort.
