Pierre Aoukar came into the day with the chip lead, but it was David Frieling who closed out the day atop the leaderboard with over 500,000 in chips as your unofficial chip leader. Not far behind him are Dan Shak, winner of the $100,000 challenge; Gus Hansen, winner of the 2007 Aussie Millions Main Event and Betfair's Sorel Mizzi.
In all, the 2010 version of the Aussie Millions attracted 746 entrants, bringing the total prize pool to $7.46 million AUD, with first place taking home $2 million AUD.
