The Poker Masters<\/strong> attracts players from all four corners of the globe. The lure of playing for big money and against the world\u2019s elite grinders is extremely strong.<\/p>\n

Two more $10,300 buy-in Poker Masters events crowned their champions last night. Both those champions hail from sunny Australia, although both now reside elsewhere. Who as the Aussie one-two? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n

Poker Masters #10: $500K Gtd NLHE 8-Max<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

$500,000 was guaranteed to be won in Event #10 but 119-entries meant $1,190,000 was shared out. The top 16 finishers grabbed a slice of that ample pie. Spare a though for Finland\u2019s Pauli Ayras<\/strong>, however, as he fell in 17th place, the last player to head home empty-handed.<\/p>\n

Such luminaries as Chris Hunichen<\/strong><\/a>, Mike Watson<\/strong><\/a>, Timothy Adams<\/strong>, Thomas Muehloecker<\/strong>, and Ben Heath<\/strong> made it into the money places but fell short of final table appearance.<\/p>\n

Vicent Bosca Ramon<\/strong> was the first finalist to bust. Eighth-place yielded $38,675. Ramon was joined on the rail by Edwin Villalobos Amaya<\/strong> and Wiktor Malinowski<\/strong>, the latter\u2019s sixth-place resulting in a $59,500 score.<\/p>\n

Joao Vieira<\/strong><\/a> collected $77,350 for his fifth-place exit before Austria-based Italian Gianluca Speranza<\/strong> secured the first six-figure prize of the tournament, namely $104,125.<\/p>\n

Heads-up was set when Eelis Parssinen<\/strong> crashed out in third for $148,750. This left Dutchman Luuk Gieles<\/strong> and Australia\u2019s Kahle Burns<\/strong>, playing from Mexico, as the only players in the hunt for the $291,550 top prize.<\/p>\n

Burns has been in incredible form for the past 18-months or so, meaning it wasn\u2019t a surprise to see him as the last player standing. Burns added another $291,550 to his ever-growing bankroll while Gieles consoled himself with a wallet-filling $208,250.<\/p>\n

Poker Masters #11: $500K Gtd NLHE 6-Max<\/h2>\n

\"\"The second Poker Masters event on April 16 also had a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool, but the top 12 finishers fought tooth and nail for their share of $940,000.<\/p>\n

Ben Heath<\/strong>, who won his first WSOP bracelet last summer in a $50,000 buy-in event, exited in 13th and burst the bubble. Heath\u2019s elimination paved the way for Talal Shakerchi<\/strong>, Luuk Gieles<\/strong>, and Jake Schindler<\/strong> to cash, the latter falling in seventh-place for $30,550.<\/p>\n

Belarus\u2019 Aliaksandr Hirs<\/strong> was the first finalist to collect some prize money, namely $39,950. Justin Bonomo followed suit ($58,750) before Cyprus\u2019 Yahia Fahmy<\/strong> ($82,250) crashed out.<\/p>\n

UK-based Dutchman Jorryt Van Hoof<\/strong> saw his tournament end in third-place for $112,800, leaving Chris Hunichen<\/strong> and Michael Addamo<\/strong> (lead image) to battle it out for the top prize of almost $300,000.<\/p>\n

Both players are hugely experienced and have clashed dozens of times in major tournament. It was Addamo who came out with bragging rights, and $294,037, this time around. Hunichen, although disappointed not to win, walked away with $183,300. No doubt we\u2019ll see both players deep in Poker Masters events this weekend and throughout the remainder of the series.<\/p>\n
