The Start of a New British Empire?
Another glorious day has greeted us here at the Crown Casino in Melbourne and PokerNews is once again front and center at the feature table for the final table of the 2011 Aussie Millions $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Shootout!
The event began with 158 players, including a cavalcade of international superstars including past Aussie Millions Main Event champions Tony Bloom, Stewart Scott and Tyron Krost, as well as a massive stable of Full Tilt Red Pros, featuring Annette Obrestad, James Akenhead, Scott Montgomery and 2010 APPT Grand Final champion Jonathan Karamalikis.
All of these players fell by the wayside, but we've already had eight players make the money. Ben Delaney, Sam Vakili, Toby Lewis, Neil Channing, Sam Georges, David Lacchia, Dave Morton and Dean Nyberg have all picked up their AUD $2,015 from the cage, leaving us with a final table worthy of any "Ashes" battle.
However, it's those limey Poms that make up 50% of the players returning today, outnumbering the Aussies (of which there are four) and the Koreans (one), as well as Denmark's Soren Blanner, who leads the chip counts with 334,900.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | BBs | Chip % |
| 1 | Soren Blanner | Denmark | 334,900 | 84 | 21.2% |
| 2 | James Keys | England | 280,700 | 70 | 17.8% |
| 3 | Barry Drysdale | Australia | 241,400 | 60 | 15.3% |
| 4 | Charlie Combes | England | 230,100 | 58 | 14.6% |
| 5 | Jack Powell | England | 230,000 | 58 | 14.6% |
| 6 | Justin Walch | Australia | 121,200 | 30 | 7.7% |
| 7 | Andrew Teng | England | 96,300 | 24 | 6.1% |
