2012 Aussie Millions Main Event - Phil Ivey Looming
The 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event is set to start Day 4's play with just 26 players left vying for the title of 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event Champion and the $1,600,000 payday that sits up top.
Without doubt all eyes will be set on the worlds number one player, American Phil Ivey. Ivey is currently 6th in chips with 1,107,000 with the average stack at 760,385. Ivey is no stranger to final tables in big tournaments and he will certainly be the player to beat heading into play today.
Alongside Ivey there are a few local hopefuls looking to cement their name into poker folklore, one such local is Sydney poker player and school teacher Grant 'Grunter' Levy. Levy burst onto the poker scene in late 2007 after he won the APPT Main Event collecting $1,000,000 AUD. Over the past few year's few players have been as consistent as Levy at the tables, with multiple victories across the country as well as deep runs in most tournaments that he enters. Levy recently signed a new sponsorship deal with online poker site Hero Poker, and no doubt he will be looking to represent his team with a nice run at this year's biggest event in the region.
Play today kicks off at 12:30pm in the Crown Poker room, and by the end of play today, we will have the final table set for play on Sunday at 12:30. The final table of the Aussie Millions Main Event has been rescheduled to take place on Sunday at 12:30 in Studio 3 with the $250K Super High Roller event scheduled to take place on Saturday at 4pm also in Studio 3. If you are a fan of the best poker in the world, then you must get down to Crown to enjoy the best action and the best players in the world.
