A Dozen Stacks Back for the Six-Max!

373 players took to the felt yesterday for the 2011 Aussie Millions $1,100 No Limit Hold'em 6-Handed event. Now, only 12 remain and soon, one will be wearing the Event #6 championship gold ring!

There was shortly no shortage of star power yesterday, with prominent Aussies Tony Hachem, Eric Assadourian, Grant Levy, Mel Judah and 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event champion Stewart Scott all taking their shot at the title, alongside internationals such as New Zealand WSOP bracelet winner Simon "durrrrkiller" Watt and Canadian Scott Montgomery.

All these players were amongst the early casualty list, but England's Neil Channing was amongst those to have made the money, as well as 2010 Aussie Millions 6-Handed Champion Kristian Lunardi and James "Welcome Back" Potter, who has made a welcome return to the Crown Poker Room this year.

Of course, it's all about the dozen players who are about to take their seats in this event, with Tim O'Shea leading the charge with 857,000 in chips. However, he'll have some stiff competition in the form of Aussie online phenoms Daniel Neilson and Andrew Hinrichsen, as well fellow Aussies Nino Marotta, Milan Gurung and Michael "Sticky" Guttman.
