It's Here! Welcome to the 2011 Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event!

You can feel it in the air as the atmosphere morphs into that keen mixture of nerves, excitement and anticipation, so ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we present to you the 2011 Aussie Millions Main Event!

In 2009, Stewart Scott became the first Aussie to keep the title on home soil and by 2010 a young man by the name of Tyron Krost had ensured it would stay that way. In typical patriotic fashion the Australians will be looking to achieve the elusive hat-trick, but it won’t be easy with the droves of internationals having other ideas.

Satellite winners, rich businessmen, celebrities and poker professionals alike will all be in attendance over the next few day one flights, all looking to create a day two berth and start their journey towards stardom.

Only one person will end up with millions of dollars and the title of 2011 champion, so who will it be? Will they be in today’s field? Your guess is as good as ours, but one thing is for sure, whomever it may be, they will need keen wit, patience, well timed aggression and that championship quality that only a few possess.

Cue the drum roll please, as the PokerNews Live Reporting Team is in Melbourne, Australia for the piece de la resistance that is the Aussie Millions Main Event!
