Welcome back to the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia for Day 1b of the 2011 Aussie Millions Main Event!
A bumper field of 238 players took to the felt yesterday with just over a third managing to bag and tag their chips after a long and intense day battling it out on the green felt of the Crown Poker Room.
Today shouldn't be much different. Although slightly fewer players are expected to take to this particular flight, there are still plenty of notable professional players and tournament novices currently registering.
Five-time WSOP bracelet winner sometime-Australian Jeffrey Lisandro and Mel Judah have just bought their ticket for today's flight while notable Full Tilt Poker members Gus Hansen, Chris Ferguson, Annette Obrestad, Scott Montgomery, Van Marcus, Matthew Jarvis and Peter Jetten are just a few of those that may lure a strong rail.
For the locals, Joe and Tony Hachem, alongside reigning champion Tyron Krost have yet to make an appearance in the main event as many are hoping to replicate Krost's and the now eliminated Stewart Scott's efforts of seeing a home grown winner crowned for the third successive year.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will again be on the felt providing the best coverage possible, so make sure to stay tuned right here from 12:30 P.M. EST for all the live action from Day 1b of the Aussie Millions Main Event!
