Welcome to the 2010 Aussie Millions!
It's going to be an action-packed two and a half weeks of poker with 20 championship events and millions of dollars up for grabs.
Our opening event is a $1,100 no-limit holdem event where the talk of the town is the potential of a 1,000-player field, which would be a record for poker tournaments in this region. We are expecting the finest players in the country to be joined by a throng of international visitors to compete for the $1 million prize pool in this event.
Today is the first of three opening flights, with the unique "repechage" format allowing players to rebuy back into the tournament in the third flight.
All the action kicks off at 7:10 p.m. local time which is about 20 minutes from now. Stay tuned to PokerNews for every flop, turn and river, live as it happens from the tournament floor!
