One of the most sought-after gadgets in the world, the Nexus 4 smartphone, has been out of stock more than it has been available, but PartyPoker is offering PokerNews customers the chance to get their hands on one — and a share of $2,000.
On Feb. 9 at 15:00 ET (20:00 GMT), PartyPoker is hosting an Aussie Millions Freeroll that is exclusive to PokerNews customers. Players who makes their first deposits on PartyPoker between Jan. 28 and Feb. 9 will automatically be entered into the PokerNews Aussie Millions Freeroll.
Tournament Name: PokerNews Aussie Millions Freeroll
Date: Feb. 9, 2013
Time: 15:00 ET (20:00GMT)
Prize pool: Nexus 4 plus $2,000 in cash
Payout structure: Winner receives a Nexus 4; cash awarded according to standard PartyPoker payout structure
Restrictions: Only available to PokerNews customers who make their first deposit between Jan. 28 and Feb. 9
With the qualification period only being open for 12 days, the freeroll field size should be much smaller than usual, meaning your chance of getting your hands on a brand new Nexus 4 is greater.
Day 4, the penultimate day of the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event, is set to begin in 60 minutes or so. The chip leader is Australian Ray Ellis, who was the only player to bag over one million chips. In second place is Finnish poker legend Patrik Antonius, who has 957,000 chips, and among the survivors are Brandon Adams, James Obst, Phil Ivey, and Dan Shak.
Antonius shot up the chip counts on Day 3 thanks to this hand against Adam Carlton. Antonius fell below one million chips during the last level of play, but should be very dangerous with the second-largest stack on the room.
The eyeballs that are not on Antonius will surely be on Mr. Ivey. Ivey was unable to defend his title in the $250,000 Challenge last night because it is a two-day event, which means he has all of the motivation in the world to make this deep run count.
Also still in the field is last year's Aussie Millions Main Event second-place finisher, Kenny Wong, as well as his girlfriend, Jay Tan. The two were put to the WAG Diaries challenge on Day 2:
Who will be the next to add their name to this prestigious list of winners?
The plan today is to play until we reach an official final table of six. All the tables are now six-handed, and the final six players will receive the following prizes:
