The Money Bubble Will Burst on Day 3!
Welcome back to the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event. What started with 668 players is now down to the final 109, with 72 of those slated to receive a portion of the AUD$6.68 million prize pool. That means 37 players will leave today empty handed while the others will guarantee themselves a minimum payday of AUD$15,000 and remain in contention for the AUD$1.6 million first-place prize.
Among those returning to action are the three big stack — Phillip Willcocks (510,600), Sorel Mizzi (507,100), and Gareth Dwyer (503,600). They'll be joined by the likes of Martin Rowe (463,900), Darren Rabinowitz (368,000), Antonio Esfandiari (349,800), Heinz Kamutzki (336,000), Julian Track (209,100); Mike Watson (149,200), Jarod Ludemann (91,500), Annette Obrestad (87,100), Marco Johnson (81,500), Paul Klann (64,400), Paul Newey (47,200); and Team PokerStars Pros Angel Guillen, Randy Lew, and Jonathan Duhamel.
The plan for the day is to play six more 90-minute levels, which should take us down to 30 players or so. Cards will be in the air in less than a half hour, so stick around for all the latest and greatest from Crown's Poker Room.
