| The runner-up is Matty Yates of New Zealand. The Kiwi came into the final table with the second largest stack and held the chip lead for much of the 12 hour final table. The heads-up portion of the tournament was back and forth with the lead changing many times. Yates earned NZD$60,000 for his second place finish.
PokerStars.net ran a series of freeroll tournaments that sent two players to the Queenstown Snowfest. Both John Waterman and Gavin Vickers turned their free main event seats into five and four figure pay days, finishing in 4th and 12th place respectively.
APPT Melbourne champion Leo Boxell will maintain his healthy lead in the Australia New Zealand Player of the Year race. The final qualifying events are ANZPT Melbourne (September 24-26), followed by ANZPT Darwin (October 4-8).
