The Aussie Millions: Giving Back

Crown Casino Master of Ceremonies Anne Peacock led the presentations once again and after a solid performance of the Kenny Rogers smash hit, "The Gambler" by the house band, defending champion Tyron Krost was introduced to the crowd before a visual presentation of the devastating Queensland floods was shown.

Crown Casino and the Aussie Millions are doing their bit to help the victims of this disaster by setting up over 100 collection tins throughout the complex, as well as asking players to make a donation upon collecting their winnings during the series. All proceeds will be matched dollar for dollar by Crown and will go directly to the Salvation Army Flood Appeal.

As Crown Ambassador and 2005 World Champion Joe Hachem said, "It really puts your bad beats at the table into perspective."

Naturally, the entire team at PokerNews urge everyone to chip in for the cause and help out those in need.
