Aussie Brendon Rubie captured the 2016 Aussie Millions Event #10: $1,650 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty title inside the Crown Poker Room early Monday morning.
Rubie won $116,680 in prize money and an exclusive LK Boutique Aussie Millions championship ring getting the best of a 349-player field over the course of two days.
A total of 32 players returned in the money Sunday, competing at four shootout tables with the final two at each advancing to the eight-handed final.
The final table then began just after 5 p.m. with China's Xixiang Luo holding a slight lead over Rubie.
Short stack Brian Payne was soon eliminated in eighth when Rubie turned a dominated ace into a pair against him. Rubie took the lead when Luo tried to bluff him off a pot and failed before Stephen Woodhead bowed out seventh and Joris Ruijs said goodbye sixth.
The final $1,000 bounty on the head of Dennis Huntly was collected by Shivan Abdine, sending him home fifth, before the final table devolved into a series of all-in pots between Luo and Michael Dix.
The two kept doubling each other up until Lou finally jammed the 
and Dix woke up with two aces. With Lou out fourth, Abdine was the next to go, getting his hopes and dreams flushed by Rubie, who then took a healthy lead into heads-up play.
The final heads-up match was a back and forth affair that saw each player take a stranglehold at different points over the course of two hours until Rubie took the lead for good in the third, finally getting it in with ace-high versus king-high and holding on to capture his second Aussie Millions title.
