Another busy day awaits inside Crown Melbourne as the Aussie Millions Poker Championship 2026 Presented by CrownBet rolls into Sunday, April 26, with two more flights of the $1,500 Opening Event headlining today’s schedule.

After two strong starting flights to open the festival, attention now turns to Day 1C this afternoon and the Day 1D Turbo later this evening, which are the final opportunities for players to secure a seat in Monday’s Day 2.

With the prize pool already well beyond its guarantee and momentum building across the festival floor, the question is no longer whether the AUD $1,000,000 guarantee will be beaten, but just how large the Opening Event field will ultimately grow.

Two Flights on Tap Today

Sunday’s schedule features a steady stream of satellites alongside the final two starting flights of the Opening Event, ensuring another packed day of action from morning through late evening.

Day 1C gets underway at 12:10 p.m. local time, following the same structure as the earlier flights, with players starting with 40,000 chips and playing 15 levels of 40 minutes each. Late registration will again remain open until the start of Level 10.

For players needing one last shot, the Day 1D Turbo begins at 6:10 p.m., featuring shorter 20-minute levels as the final wave of hopefuls look to punch their ticket into Day 2.

Also taking place today is Day 2 of the $2,500 H.O.R.S.E., where 18 of the 64 entries remain. The field is led by Sascha Manns, and also includes 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem.

Here’s a look at today’s full schedule:
