In addition to the AU$151,200 first prize, Wardak picked up an extra AU$1,000 for eliminating Delaney. Delaney was one of forty-five "bounty" players that were sprinkled throughout the starting tables of this tournament. We figure his mates probably spent at least that much on the champagne that they pre-ordered once the match was heads up, but we can't see how Wardak could mind. They provided him with an amazing dose of enthusiastic encouragement throughout the final table.
Congratulations once again to Saidal Wardak on a well-earned victory. We're sure the celebration tonight will be one that will never be spoken of again.
That's it for tonight from the Crown Poker Room. Tomorrow brings the final table of the $100,500 No-Limit Hold'em Challenge and the first Day 1 flight of the eagerly anticipated and long awaited 2009 Aussie Millions $10,500 Main Event. It'll be a great day of poker and we hope you join us then.
, leaping out of his seat as he did so. Delaney turned over 
. He completely whiffed on the flop, 
. The turn gave a small sweat to Wardak's supporters, as it was the 
to give Delaney a pair of sevens. But at the end, it was all Wardak. The river was the 
to give him a set of aces and finally end this epic struggle.Delaney was crestfallen, but walks away from the tournament with AU$110,250. That's not a bad check for two days of work.
, with Wardak check-calling a bet of 50,000. He checked again on the 
turn, then shoved when Delaney bet 120,000. Delaney quickly folded.

Wardak:
Both players hit the
flop. Delaney made two pair; Wardak made a small flush draw. His mates were all shouting for a heart and were elated to see the 
hit the turn. It wasn't over, though. Delaney still had four outs on the river, and wouldn't you know, he hit one -- the -- drawing roars from Delaney's own supporters.As a result, play goes on. Delaney now has almost 500,000 chips.
Delaney looked a bit embarrased. "Crusher," he responded. Delaney's railbirds then shouted out "CNT_CRUSHER!"
"What's that?" Wardak said, not hearing the response.
"Cee Enn Tee Crusher," the railbirds said. It took Wardak a second, but he got it.
"Oh isn't that nice," he quipped sarcastically, looking directly at PokerNews video presenter Annette Melton.
. Both players checked. On the turn 
, all hell broke loose.Wardak led out for 75,000. Delaney quickly raised to 200,000, with Wardak just as quickly moving all in for about 975,000 total. Delaney snap-called, excitedly slamming down
for the turned wheel. Wardak stared at him with the intensity of someone who's been downing Red Bull for the last six hours, then slammed down 
for a six-high straight!The roars from Wardak's crew were loud enough to bring half of the Crown Poker Room running to the table. Delaney was stunned; not only was his monster second-best, he was drawing dead. A pumped Wardak ran up and down the rail, high-fiving all of the members of his crew.
Wardak is now the chip leader, with about 2.0 million in chips. Delaney is struggling with roughly 250,000!
Wardak grinned delightedly, showing
as he dragged the pot."Please keep doing that," said Delaney.
"Don't worry," replied Wardak. "Next time I'll have aces."
Saidal Wardak - 745,000
