2009 Aussie Millions

Only One More to Go

The chips are bagged and the players are on their way out of the Crown Poker Room to signal the end of Day 1b play.

202 players sat down today, but only 101 will make it to Day 2 to join the 76 others. Defending champion Alexander Kostritsyn, Erik Seidel, Chris Ferguson, Ross Boatman and Emad Tahtouh all came and went, but it would be Brett Daphne and Josh Malone out in fron as the Day 1b leaders.

Snapping on his heels is Sam Vakili, Joe Cabret, Marty Smyth and Michael 'Timex' McDonald, all with stacks that will help them fare well when they return to the felt on Wednesday.

A 300-plus field is expected to turn out tomorrow to compete on the final flight of play. Joe Hachem, Gus Hansen, John Juanda, JC Tran and Nam Le are certain to take their opportunity on being crowned the 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event champion and be AU$2,000,000 richer.
