Phil Ivey triumphed over a 16-player field and a heads-up match with Patrik Antonius to win AU$2,000,000.

Remember the days when a "High Roller" tournament with a $25,000 entry fee was enough to draw the attention of the poker world? Then came the $100,000 buy-in "Super High Roller" events.

At the Aussie Millions, however, the $100,000 event isn't even their "Super High Roller" tournament- that designation is saved for the $250,000 buy-in.

16 players paid the massive entry fee earlier this week, and as always, the field was full of well-known players with big bankrolls and bigger egos.

Normally we wouldn't list the complete results of a tournament, but in this case we'll make an exception:

Phil Ivey - AU$2,000,000
Patrik Antonius - AU$1,200,000
Gus Hansen - AU$800,000
Daniel Negreanu
Sorel Mizzi
Winfred Yu
Tony Bloom
Dan Smith
Jason Mercier
Paul Phua
Nick Wong
Erik Seidel
Sam Trickett
John Juanda
Richard Yong
Tom Dwan

We can't spot the fish in that field, but we imagine Phil Ivey can. Patrik Antonius and Gus Hansen must each be content with their results, although perhaps the same can't be said for bubble boy Daniel Negreanu.
