The 2012 Aussie Millions Champ Falls
Back in 2012, Oliver Speidel topped a field of 659 players to win the Aussie Millions Main Event for AU$1.6 million. Speidel has returned the past three years seeking to capture the title for a second time, but he's fallen short of the money each time.
For 2015, Speidel's demise came at the hands of Marc MacDonnell, who filled us in on the details after the fact. According to MacDonnell, he had opened for 900 from early position and another player called. When action reached Speidel in the big blind, he shoved all in for his last 8,000 and MacDonnell called, which prompted the other player to fold.
Speidel held 
and was racing for his tournament life against MacDonnell's 
. Unfortunately for Speidel, who also won the 2011 Manny Pacquiao World Poker Event in Manila for $50,405, the board ran out dry and his Main Event came to an abrupt end.
