Aussie MIllions -- Poker's Obrestad, Mizzi Headline Final Table

World Series of Poker Europe’s 2007 main-event champion Annette Obrestad has made the final table of the Aussie Millions main event. Today, she will attempt to win her second major title, but she faces staunch competition in chip leader Sorel Mizzi and fellow pro Peter Jetten. Read the full recap below of how the final table was set.

A strong field of 746 players entered this year’s main event, and now just the final table of eight remain in the battle for the top prize worth $2 million. There were 18 players at the start of Day 4, with everyone guaranteed to walk away with at least $75,000 (results are posted below). Check back with Card Player for a full recap at the end of the final table.

Young professional Sorel Mizzi (pictured right) takes a large chip lead into the final table. He holds 6,033,000, good for a 3-1 chip advantage over the next closest competitor. Annette Obrestad enters the final table with 1,349,000, and Peter Jetten will take 1.7 million into the final day.
