Sweating the Action

The Aussie Millions Main Event is not the only major sporting event taking place today. The Australian national cricket team is playing a one-day against South Africa. Cricket is a major pastime in Australia, drawing legions of rabid fans the way football does in North America. Crown is televising the cricket match on the five-by-five bank of television screens that take up one wall of the poker room. Several notable players have taken a keen interest in the match, including Tony G (presumably rooting for the local lads) and Event #5 winner Jarred Solomon (presumably cheering on his native South Africa).

We wouldn't be surprised if many of the players in the room also have placed large wagers in the Crown sport book on the outcome of the match.
