Big Field Expected for Day 1c of the 2019 Aussie Millions Main Event

Tournament Room
Tournament Room

The third and final starting day of the 2019 Aussie Millions A$ 10,600 Main Event kicks off at 12.30 p.m. local time in the biggest casino complex of the Southern hemisphere and a very busy day at the tables of the Crown Casino poker room is expected. One year ago, the event created a record-attendance of 800 entries after the efforts of an extensive satellite schedule paid off and a new record may very well be set.

On Day 1a and 1b respectively, 165 and 268 players entered the tournament to create a field of 433 entries and 214 hopefuls have already punched their ticket for Day 2 on Wednesday, January 30th, 2019. For all those that busted, there is no opportunity to take another shot at the title in Australia's most important poker event of the year, as the Aussie Millions remains one of the few major events on the international poker circuit to remain as a freezeout.

Day 1c will play a total of seven 90-minute levels with a 15-minute break after every level and a 75-minute dinner break after the fourth level. Each participant receives 30,000 in chips and two current chip leaders are Julian Stuer (196,500) and Paul-Francois Tedeschi (195,400), who topped their respective starting days.

The A$ 50,000 Challenge will also determine a champion as of 2 p.m. local time when the final five will return for an unscheduled third day, defending Aussie Millions Main Event champion Toby Lewis leads the pack after having already finished 2nd in the A$ 25,000 Challenge. Last but not least, a NLHE/PLO A$ 1,150 Side Event kicks off at 6.10 p.m. local time in the Exhibition Hall and another Main Event satellite is scheduled one hour later.

Whether or not a new overall chip leader will be crowned at 2 a.m. local time remains to be seen and you can follow all the action right here on PokerNews.
