McKenzie Freerolls Into Main Event
From Wednesday, Jan. 23 up until this past Monday, Crown ran a heck of a promotion that allowed anyone the opportunity for a Aussie Millions Main Event seat... for free!
All they had to do was Tweet using @CrownPoker and #AussieMillions and then at 9 p.m. each night thee winners were chosen based on the originality of their tweets. Those players then qualified for a Freeroll Tournament that took place at 10 a.m. today.
Just 18 players competed in the freeroll, including long-time PokerNews Josh "procession" Bell. Unfortunately, Bell fell in fifth place.
The winner of the event ended up being Jesse "@OnTheMac" McKenzie, who is now in the Main Event over at Table 48. Here's what McKenzie had to say on Twitter about his win:
