With so many world-class<br />
players making the trip<br />
“down under”<br />
it’s tough to pick a winner,<br />
but there are several players<br />
worth keeping an eye on.<br />
OLIVER SPEIDEL<br />
The reigning Aussie Millions champion<br />
comes from a banking background and is one<br />
of the many local Melbournian players to watch<br />
out for at the tables. While he didn’t become<br />
a household name until winning the Aussie<br />
Millions, Speidel has been a consistent performer<br />
since 2010. In 2011 he won the AU$1,000 no limit<br />
hold’em rebuy event at the Aussie Millions before going on to take down the<br />
Manny Pacquiao World Poker Event in Manila in December 2011.<br />
Since winning the Aussie Millions Main Event Speidel has gone on to show<br />
his class, final tabling the 2012 Australia New Zealand Poker Tour Sydney Main<br />
Event and the 2012 Asian Poker Tour Manila.<br />
Oliver is a very aggressive yet canny player and will be fired up to defend<br />
his title come January – while the odds of winning back-to-back titles might<br />
be enormous, writing this young man off would be a huge mistake.<br />
