Shane Warne "Not Out"

[user22113]

Shane Warne gets it all in with AQ, only to run into Jeff Lisandro with the same hand. They split the pot and Warney is still in.

01-14-2007 00:37 UTC

The Las Vegas Poker Room here at the Crown Casino is all ready for the Main Event of the 2007 Aussie Millions. The entertainers have done their Kool and the Gang number for sound check for the Big Opening. Forty-three tables (9 handed) are ready for the Day 1 Flight 1 players and we will be underway in an hour plus time for opening festivities including song, dance and scantily clad whatevers.

There will be 7 levels today with 10 or 15 minute breaks and a one hour dinner break. We expect to finish today around midnight.

Tomorrow's Day 1 Flight 2 will start one hour earlier at 11:30 AM to give the second flight players more time to sleep before Day Two.

[user22113]

There was a brief introduction of players including Howard Lederer, Joe Hachem, Shannon Elizabeth, Shane Warne (famous cricket player - think of the Aussie Sandy Koufax), and Mark Philippoussis followed by a snazzy rendition of Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" complete with Las Vegas style show girls.
