The $2,500 Victorian Championship Main Event

The $2,500 Victorian Champs Main Event is an absolute ripper, with four starting flights running from October 21-24. Players will start with 60,000 chips, with Day 1 levels running for 40 minutes before increasing to 60 minutes, giving plenty of room to maneuver as the field gets whittled down.
