The Tournament Director has announced that play has been delayed.
With people amazingly still registering - with the potential number being somewhere in the high thirties - it has been decided that play will be stalled until everyone is ready to take their seats.
Welcome to the largest buy-in event on the 2011 Aussie Millions schedule: the $100,000 Challenge! This event isn't for the week at heart. Only the best of the best will show up with the balls to pony up the hefty six-figure buy-in to lock horns with poker's elite.
Last year, Dan Shak conquered an impressive field of 24 players, including a heads-up battle with poker juggernaut Phil Ivey, to take home the AUD$1,200,000 first-place prize. This year, much of the biggest names from the Full Tilt Poker roster will be on hand as will many more.
Play is schedule to kick off at 2:15 P.M. local time here in Melbourne, although things may be delayed a bit. Once we start spotting faces as they roll in, we'll let you know who's here. Stay tuned for all the action and in the mean time, check out our very own Lynn Gilmartin as she gives you the January 22 update.
