The final table consisted of, Matt Lonsdale, Chris Bell, Jeff Field, Brian Greenhow, Chris Arneill, Dean Menzies, Ryan Shewan and James Watson, who together shared more than 4.5million in chips.
At conclusion of the final table, James Watson (Jimmy) took out WA's first ever 2 Day Deepstack and landed himself a seat in the upcoming Wild Turkey Poker Classic to be contested in Melbourne's Crown Entertainment Complex this February - an event that will boast an estimated $500,000 in cash and prizes.
