The 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event is the number one poker tournament on the Australasian calendar, featuring a $10,600 buy-in and an estimated 1st place payout of $2,000,000. Everyone who is everyone always makes the journey down to the Crown Casino in Melbourne every January to take part in the world class event.
Today marks the start of Day 1c of the $10,600 buy-in Main Event and the numbers this year are slightly lower than last year's, but by no stretch are they that much lower. So far, there are 655 registered players creating a massive $6,550,000 prize pool with the $2M first place payout all but guaranteed, you can be sure that there will be plenty of tension in the room over the coming days play.
This years numbers are slightly lower for the Aussie Millions and this could be attributed to Full Tilt Poker who were the title sponsors of the Series for the past 2 years, and along with that sponsorship, the biggest and best names in the industry would come down to support the event with their presence. At this years Aussie Millions however, all the focus is on one poker player, the enigma of the green felt, the veritable 'Tiger Woods' of poker - Phil Ivey.
Currently, Phil has managed to work his starting stack all the way up to a very enviable 95,000 in chips. Helping fuel Phil's play this year are the 10th anniversary cup cakes that Crown Marketing have provided for players in this years big dance. Since last count, Phil has managed to consume three of these tasty models and if play continues the way it is, some say he may even win the main event today eliminating every player in the field along with another 100 cupcakes.
For those looking for updates from Day 1a or Day 1b, here are the names and chip counts of those lucky enough to make it through to Day 2 tomorrow.
