A lengthy Closing Event final table had to carry over into today, with more than three hours still needed to find a champion from a field of 600 entries.

Salvatore Lucisano got the better of Michael Sleiman at heads-up to collect his first piece of APO silverware and - like Ricardo Bono - also had a win at last month's Sydney Champs.

Congratulations Sal!

Ricardo Bono continues to flex his PLO chops with another major four-card title in the APO PLO Bounty.

It backs up his Sydney Champs NSW PLO Championships victory less than a month ago, and comes as his first Australian Poker Open trophy!

On top of his first place cash, he earns another $5,500 from his 11 bounty chips at the end of the event.

Congrats Ricardo!
