Notwithstanding initially being behind in chips, a pocket aces versus pocket jacks encounter saw Drewe take the lead before moments later Kramer was left battling for his tournament survival after going all-in pre-flop holding A-8 to Drewe’s pocket queens.

With no surprises from the board, Kramer landed a runner finish for a $128,220 pay-day, while Martin Drewe won AUS$200,020 for his deserved win and collected the first gold ring of this year’s Aussie Millions.
