In what can only be described as surgical poker, Phil Ivey has once again put the poker world on notice cementing his title as the greatest poker player of the modern era after winning the largest buy-in poker tournament in the world, the $250,000 Buy-in Super High Roller Event at Crown Casino, event 20 of the Aussie Millions.

Last year was the first time the $250K Challenge was ran, and the event drew an incredible 20 players to the table creating history for Crown Casino and the Aussie Millions. Crown's Executive Manager of Table Games Sean McCreery is credited with the concept of the $250K challenge and said that the idea for the super high-stakes game is part of a plan by the casino to make Australia one the foremost destinations for poker players in the world.

"If you think about it, some of these players have to fly 40 hours just to be in the tournament," he said.

"We try to create a whole experience for them here at Crown. Some of the players have told me this is their favourite event of the season."

This years Super High Rollers Event saw 16 of the worlds top players combined with some of the worlds richest businessmen take their seats to compete for the $4,000,000 prize pool. Phil Ivey was having a very nice run in the Aussie Millions Main event leading up to the Super High Rollers, and his presence in the Main Event even prompted the Aussie Millions Organisers to move the Super High Rollers Event on the official schedule to accommodate the super star.  Phil's run in the Aussie Millions Main Event ended when he finished in 12th place collecting $100,000 for his efforts.

Saturday was shaping up to be a long day for Phil however, as after his bust out from the Aussie Millions Main Event, he walked up to Studio 3 and entered the richest buy-in poker tournament in the world, the $250,000 buy-in Super High Rollers Event.

When the tournament came down to the final four players, the top 4 tournament players in the world were seated together ready to burst the biggest bubble in modern poker. 4th place was set to walk away with $0 while 3rd would pocket a whopping $800,000. The final four players consisted of Patrik Antonius, Gus Hansen, Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey.

During four handed play, Daniel made the following comment to Gus, "Wouldn't it be sick if you bubble this event as well?"

Daniel was referencing the $100K buy-in event that took place only a few days earlier where Gus was unfortunate enough to be the bubble boy of that tournament.

As the poker gods had it however, Daniel would soon "Eat Some Of That" and he was the first player to make an error four handed when he made a bad read on Patrik and came over the top of Patrik's pre-flop raise holding only a measly A♠ 8♦ against the monster of J♣ J♦ that Patrik was holding.

Once Daniel became the Bubble boy, Phil Ivey put on a poker clinic against two of the worlds best tournament players and was soon crowned the latest $250K Super High Roller Champion.

When play arrived heads up, Phil Ivey ushered what is set to be quite possibly the greatest comment of this year's Aussie Millions.

Ivey looked at Antonius and said, "You want to make a deal?"

Keeping in mind that there was $2,000,000 for the winner with $1,200,000 going to second place. Phil Ivey had just busted out of the Aussie Millions Main Event 18 hours earlier, sat down with the best players in the world for the biggest buy-in in the world, made it heads up where he was guaranteed at least $1.2 Million, and he says, "I want to play for it all!!!!"

Phil Ivey - We salute you
