From the 264 players who have entered Day 1b so far, the 204 remaining players in the 2019 Aussie Millions Main Event are going on their 75-minute dinner break after four levels of action.

By comparison, last year's Day 1b attracted 196 entrants. Day 1a yesterday had a slight year-on-year fall in numbers, but with today's field a bumper one, the 2019 Aussie Millions Main Event is already ahead of where it was at the same stage last year.

Just like yesterday, plenty of big names have jumped into the field, including former champions Lee Nelson and Tyron Krost, the latter of which fell by the wayside earlier today.

Nelson already has one final table at this year's Aussie Millions, finishing sixth for AU$8,505 in the H.O.R.S.E. and he is joined in the Day 1b field by 2019 Six Max champion Bart Lybaert, Oliver Gill, Sarah Bilney, Scott Davies were also in attendance, as well as Chino Rheem.

Sadly for the AU$25,000 Challenge third-place finisher Rheem, he lasted just two hands before busting from the tournament.

Julian Stuer

An early big stack was Clinton Taylor, but Julian Stuer jumped over 100,000 in chips after doubling through a player with pocket aces after flopping a set of sevens.

With three more levels after the dinner break, stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live updates as players bag up for Day 2.
