Lee Nelson came into the final table of the 2009 Aussie Millions Poker Championship Event #11, $1,100 Pot Limit Omaha, in the middle of the pack, but quickly asserted himself as the dominant force among the final nine. Nelson took out most of the competition himself on the way to his first Aussie Millions title of 2009 and the AUD $32,400 top prize. 

David Bach took the chip lead into the final table which looked like this:

  • Seat 1: Rainer Quel - 51,500
  • Seat 2: Nathan Snow - 62,700
  • Seat 3: Sandra Propper - 54,800
  • Seat 4: Lee Nelson - 78,200
  • Seat 5: Rene Freymann - 106,500
  • Seat 6: David Bach - 122,000
  • Seat 7: Nino Ascenzio - 94,700
  • Seat 8: Kenny Ng - 98,000
  • Seat 9: David Morton - 51,200

David Morton was the first to bust in ninth place ($2,400) against chip leader David Bach. Morton went all in with aces, and Bach was the lone caller. Unluckily for Morton the turn showed a nine, giving Bach trip nines which sent Morton to the rail. 

Sandra Propper fell in eighth place ($3,600) against Lee Nelson's aces, who then stole the dominant chip lead by doubling up on a huge pot with Bach. 

Rene Freymann made a set on the river to send Kenny Ng to the rail in seventh place ($5,400). David Bach tangled with Lee Nelson one final time, with Nelson's straight sending Bach home in sixth place ($7,200).

Nelson then bounced Rene Freymann in fifth place ($10,800) to increase his chip lead over the field. Nathan Snow joined the act when he busted Nino Ascenzio in fourth place ($14,400), but was next to bust in third place at the hands of Nelson, taking $19,200 for his impressive finish.

With almost a 6:1 chip lead and momentum on his side, Lee Nelson was poised to make short work of Rainer Quel as heads up play began. Quel had other ideas, though, and the heads-up match lasted for nearly four hours before Nelson finally bested his opponent and claimed his gold championship ring. Quel was the runner-up with $24,600. Lee "Final Table" Nelson lived up to his nickname by claiming the $32,400 top prize and the Aussie Millions Event #11 championship ring valued at $4,000.
