Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
After another grueling twelve level day, the Aussie Millions Event 1: $1,100 Opening Event has at last wrapped it’s final day one flight!
It was 420 entries today which brought the overall field to a nice round number of 1000, generating a AUD$1,000,000 prizepool and a AUD200,020 first prize.
Local hopefuls Tom Wing, Tyron Krost, Brendon Rubie, Billy Jordanou and Billy “The Croc” Argyros were just a handful of the many who tried and failed to make a day two birth. While leading the international contingent of those to not make day two include Annette Obrestad, Maria Ho and James Akenhead.
There were 63 players who survived after day 1c was all said and done, with Costa Argirai (179,300), Alex Dayoub (162,200), Jack Powell (132,000) and Rody Kaka (124,200) leading the way.
Still in the hunt with respectable stacks is local “last woman standing” contender Jackie Glazier (74,700), Aussie online pro Steve “Steve0l” Leonard (76,400), Michael Spilkin (46,800) and Graeme “KiwiG” Putt (34,600). Full Tilt Poker Pro Barny Boatmen (74,200) also finds himself in good shape for day 2.
It will be 143 who return for day 2 action at the Crown Poker Room in Melbourne, with only 90 players finding themselves in the money. Play will be kicking off at 12:30 EST, so be sure to join the PokerNews Live Reporting Team and catch all 142 eliminations before only one can call themselves a 2011 Aussie Millions champion!

Three more hands. Just three more hands to not get unlucky in.
Coming To An End
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
Play has tightened up late into the last level, with no bust outs for several minutes. Currently 66 players remain. How many will last another 8 minutes into day 2?
Broken Wing
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
Folded to Tom Wing in late position, he moved all-in early in the last level of the day. Action then came to one of todays chip leaders in the big blind- Jack Powell. Powell made the call and Wing's tournament life was at risk.
Wing: 
Powell: 
"I folded a jack-nine!", quipped one of the player to Wing's left.
"Don't tell me that!", replied Wing, clearly not excited by recent happenings.
Flop: 
No luck for Wing... yet.
Turn: 
Wing hits his jack! His tournament would be saved!
River: 
That is, it would have been, had the ace not hit on the river. Wing is sent home just half an hour shy of day 2.
The Last Level
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
This is it ladies and gentlemen. The last level of day 1c. There will be no more re-entries. If you are out, then that is it! No more handouts. Only keen poker skills will save you now.

To The River For The Croc
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Billy Argyros barely had a leg a stand on. With under 3,000 left and a shove from a late position player, Argyros made th call for his tournament life.
Argyros: 
LP: 
Calling desperately for a queen, Argyros waited on while the dealer dealt out 
, before promptly stopping the dealer and saying, "Wait! I wanna see how many outs i have!" Not waiting, the dealer turned over the 
and Billy "The Croc" Argyros said goodbye to his table saying, "Thanks for the lessons boys!"
