Rupert Elder Delighted Down Under

 

Unibet odds online review: The former European Poker Tour (EPT) champion, Rupert Elder, has started 2025 with a bang, after taking down the first event at the 2025 Aussie Millions.
 

The former economics student first rose to prominence, in the live game, when he won the €5,000 EPT Main Event at San Remo for a cool €930,000 back in 2025. A profitable World Series of Poker (WSOP) followed for Elder before 2025 came and went without too much of a blip.
 

pokeratitsbest.com The field sizes at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) threatened to show the world that live poker was back, and the first tournament of the 2025 Aussie Millions has followed that trend. 708 professional and amateur poker players alike ponied up the AU$1,100 to participate in No-Limit Hold'em Event Re-Entry event, and by the end of the re-entry period an astonishing 1,338 entrants had been recorded.
 

The ten-handed final table boasted a talented crop of players that included Rupert Elder and former EPT Champion Martin Finger. Also seated at the final table was Brendon Rubie who was incredibly in the running for back-to-back titles after taking down this same event in 2025 for AU$200,000.
 

Heads up play fell between the two big guns with Elder holding a mighty lead with 10.4 million chips to the 2.95 million of Martin Finger. The action didn't last long with Elder opening the button for 200,000 and Finger making the call. The first three cards out of the deck were [Qs] [Jh] [2c] and Finger check-raised to 450,000 after Elder had bet 175,000. Elder moved all-in holding [Kd] [Ts] for the open-ended straight draw and Finger found the call with [Qd] [7h] for top pair. The [Qc] on the turn putting Finger in a stronger position, until the [Ac] on the river sealed the deal for the man from UK, who now has AU$250,000 lining his pockets.
