Happy Australia Day!
Though the weather here in Old Melbourne Town may be bleak, the atmosphere in the Crown Poker Room is as lively as ever and even the PokerNews Live Reporting Team are decked out in Aussie paraphenaelia and looking forward to chugging that first Foster's ... ahem! Sorry ... Victoria Bitter (nobody in Australia drinks Foster's).
For you see, today is January 26 and that means it's Australia Day! It's the day that commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788. It's also a day for barbeques, beer and celebration with family and friends. And in our case, some poker.
Speaking of which, what a great day we've got lined up for you down here in the Crown Poker Room - Day 2 of the Main Event, the start of the $10,000 Australian Heads-Up Championship and of course, this bad boy - the $5,300 Pot Limit Omaha.
We're sure to see a huge line-up of players take to the felt today and with the triple-chance format, the action is guaranteed to be the best PLO action you'll see this side of the black stump. Fair dinkum!
So put on your corked hats, your blue singlets, your footy shorts and your thongs (flip-flops), crack open a tinnie and relax as PokerNews brings you all the live updates. She'll be apples, mate!
