The first seven figure pay day of the 2016 Aussie Millions has been won on Saturday with Fabian Quoss defeating a star-studded field to win Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge and top prize of AU$1,446,480.
With the Aussie Millions Main Event enjoying a rest day before the final table on Sunday, the attention of the Crown Poker Room was firmly focussed on the final table of the $100,000 Challenge. An event which started earlier in the week with 41 entrants (30 unique and 11 re-entries) was down to the final six players with Ben Tollerene, Fabian Quoss, Jason Mercier, Connor Drinan, Sam Greenwood and Fedor Holz forming a superb final table line up.
High stakes online crusher Ben Tollerene was the chip leader while German Fedor Holz was the short stack entering the day. Despite dressing in a dapper suit and bow tie, Holz was unable to turn things around as he was first to go. Holz was all in with K♥Q♠ but received no help against the pocket fours of Connor Drinan. Holz was in for three bullets in this tournament, which mean that his AU$281,260 prize resulted in a small loss for him on his investment.
Drinan was responsible for the next elimination as well when Sam Greenwood three-bet all in with A♣2♣. Drinan was priced in with his Q♣9♣ and the board of J♣6♦3♦4♦9♦ caught a pair of nines for Drinan to eliminate Greenwood in fifth place.
Drinan was in the thick of the action, and after distributing some of his chips around the table, he found himself in a tricky spot against Fabian Quoss. Drinan check-called two streets before leading on the river holding Q♣9♠ on a board of 7♣T♦J♣9♣6♣ with his queen-high flush. Quoss moved all in on the river to put Drinan to a decision that required the use of both of his timebreaker buttons. As the clocked ticked down to the final seconds, Drinan finally flicked out a call but discovered the bad news when Quoss tabled A♣2♣ for the nut flush. Drinan collected AU$441,980 for fourth place.
Quoss continued to dominate and he was responsible for also ending the run of Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier. From the button, Mercier raised with A♥8♥ before Quoss three-bet with K♠Q♦. Mercier moved all in and Quoss made the call. The board fell Q♠3♠3♥K♥2♦ and despite picking up a flush draw on the turn, the river bricked to leave Quoss' two pair to take down the pot and eliminate Mercier in third place.
Fabian Quoss would carry a handy chip advantage into heads-up play against Ben Tollerene and didn't give the American any spots to breathe. Tollerene landed one double up with pocket queens, but Quoss continued to grind down his opponent with a series of small pots.
In the end Tollerene was forced to make a stand for his last five big blinds with J♠T♦ but found himself dominated by Quoss' K♥J♥. The board bricked out 6♥4♦5♣5♥5♦ to eliminate Tollerene in second place and crown Quoss as the $100,000 Challenge champion!
After a fifth and a third place in the $250,000 Challenge at the Aussie Millions in 2013 and 2014, Quoss lands his first title 'Down Under' and a top prize of AU$1,446,480 to boost his career prize money to almost US$8 million.

One of the best tournament festivals just about every serious poker player has their eyes on is the Aussie Millions. For players in Australia, it is the hottest action of the year and one might say it is the hottest action of the winter for others since they can get out of the cold since it is summer time in Australia.
This year's festival takes place from Jan. 11 to 30 at the Crown Melbourne with 25 action-packed events across 20 days. The highlight of the poker festival is the AUD $10,600 Aussie Millions Main Event taking place from Jan. 22 to 29 with three opening days followed by five more days of action until the latest winner is crowned.
While there are many tournaments on the schedule with lower price points (and higher as well), many players will choose to satellite into the Main Event rather than pay the full cost.

Players can qualify either online at 888poker or live at the casino room with satellites running around the clock leading up to the event.
Qualify Into the Aussie Millions Main Event at 888poker
For players not already in Australia, trying to qualify into the Aussie Millions Main Event online, is probably the best initial path. 888poker offers two options, one that is for a seat only, valued at $8,250, and the other for a $10,000 package that includes the buy-in for the Main Event, three-night hotel accommodation at the Crown Promenade Hotel from Jan. 24-26 and $1,000 in cash for travel expenses.
The next satellite for a seat is Dec. 25 at 12:05 p.m. GMT with a $1,050. Players begin with 5,000 in a deep structured event and can rebuy up to two times during the first two hours of the tournament.
For players more interested in winning a package, the next satellite takes place on Dec. 27 at 12:05 p.m. GMT, also with the same $1,050 buy-in and the same structure as the seat-only qualifier.

Of course, both satellites have plenty of feeders and players can work their way up the ladder and qualify in for as little as one penny.
**Editor's Note
It has been brought to our attention by Ari Engel that there is a discrepancy between the Aussie Millions Main Event Seat Value that a player can win at 888Poker ($8,250) and the actual value of an Aussie Millions main event seat ($7615 according to current exchange rates). PokerNews has reached out to 888Poker, and have been told that '888 will do the final calculation of exchange rates once we transfer the money to the casino. We will pay the players the difference accordingly if the value of the package exceeds the value of the actual seat based on those exchange rates.'
Plenty of Satellites at Crown Melbourne Too
Players already near Melbourne, Australia can qualify into the Aussie Millions Main Event for as little as AUD $130 in satellites frequently running live at the Crown Melbourne poker room. There are also many satellites running for other events players wish to play in for cheaper than the advertised buy-in.
There are also a handful of freeroll satellites with AUD $10 rebuys to qualify into one the many AUD $250 Aussie Millions Main Event MEGA Satellites.
For players planning to head to Aussie Millions with or without a ticket to the events they wish to play already, there are also plenty of satellites running just before events kick off. In addition to the plethora of live satellites taking place before the Aussie Millions kicks off, during the poker festival, there are up to eight satellites each day during the festival as well.
For those just interested in the Main Event, there are plenty of satellites to choose from including theAussie Millions Main Event Rebuy Satellite on Jan. 17 at 9:10 p.m. local time which guarantees at least one seat and costs just AUD $130 to enter with AUD $100 rebuys.
