Winner: Rocafella - $1,447
Community favourite and Vegas attendee Rocafella took 4 hrs 53 mins to claim his first Aussie Classic title, improving on a Sunday Open 2nd back in May. Doubt still remains as to whether Rocafella woke early Sunday morning for this event, with the suspicion remaining that he was still up from the previous evening. Runner-up RoscomaX, the highest placed Aussie, earned $858 for his efforts while third placed enoobs departed with $590. The final table featured two Aussies and one Kiwi, the antipodean trio placing 2nd, 4th and 5th. Four Brits and three French made up the remaining seats.

Frenchman bebel13 had won a $10K TV Tournament a year ago, yet it was eventual winner teown007 who held the most extensive record.
