Aussie Millions Set To Kick Off! Opening Event On The Cards!
Welcome back to the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia for the commencement of the 2011 Aussie Millions!
Unfortunately the Australian weather at the moment isn’t providing glistening rays of sunshine that January visitors normally expect to shine down on them as they make their way into the Crown Poker Room.
Many parts of this country may be buried deep under water due to the floods that have stricken the northern east, but it is no surprise that tournament veterans, professionals, degenerates and pub poker-playing amateurs have put aside the thought of disaster to tussle it out on the felt tonight, and over the eighteen-day schedule.
Tonight sees the Event 1: $1,100 Opening Event kick off the twenty-event poker extravaganza that is the 2011 Aussie Millions where a variety of poker disciplines will be undertaken over the remainder of the month.
Last year saw Australian Matthew Ephraums prove victorious over the 1,143-player field when he bested Brendan “Make It Rain” Edmonds to collect a AUD$200,025 first prize. German Christian Heich collected the title in 2009 after successfully snatching the title from local Stephen Topakas for an AUD$150,000 payday as Vincent “Wonky” Wan collected the gong in 2008 for just over AUD$140,000.
Who will be champion tonight? Only time will tell as individuals from around the state, the country and the world merge on the green felt of the Crown Poker Room to test their skills and see who will be the 2011 Opening Event Champion!
PokerNews will be based at the Crown Casino for the duration of the Aussie Millions, and tonight you will be able to catch all the exclusive live action from 7:00 p.m EST.
