Rising from the local games in Adelaide and Melbourne to the nosebleed stakes of Macau and the European Poker Tour , Rossiter has built a career defined by massive scores and a fearless approach to the world’s toughest lineups. Currently sitting at 5th on Australia’s all-time money list, he is widely respected for his longevity and his ability to compete at the highest level of the game.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings of over $6.6 million (according to The Hendon Mob), Rossiter is a giant of Australian poker. His most significant live payday came in 2013 at the GuangDong Asia Millions (GDAM) in Macau, where he finished as the runner-up in the HKD 1,000,000 Main Event for a massive $3,155,887.
Rossiter also has a special relationship with the Aussie Millions in his home country. He has made two Main Event final tables, finishing 3rd in 2011 for AUD 700,000 (~$697,437) and 4th in 2017 for AUD 440,000 (~$332,301).

Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Adelaide and later based in Melbourne, Rossiter burst onto the scene in 2011 as a young prodigy when he final-tabled the Aussie Millions. Before he became a live tournament specialist, he was a prolific online grinder, which gave him the technical foundation to move into the high-stakes live arena. He famously spent several years living and playing in Macau, which at the time was the epicenter of the world’s biggest cash games. This experience allowed him to transition seamlessly into the global High Roller circuit, where he became one of the few Australians to regularly compete against the elite European and American pros. Despite being “retired” from the professional grind at various points, he remains one of the most naturally talented players his country has ever produced.
Play Style & Strategy
Rossiter is known for a highly aggressive and adaptable style that works well in both tournaments and high-stakes cash games. Often described as a player with incredible “feel,” he relies on his deep experience in Macau’s nosebleed games to navigate complex situations. While he has a strong understanding of modern technical poker, he is famous for his ability to read his opponents and take high-pressure lines that others might find too risky. He is equally comfortable in No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha, and his calm, focused demeanor at the table has made him a difficult opponent for even the world’s top-ranked professionals.
