Aussie Millions Main Event
The Aussie Millions has grown to become one of the top poker tournaments in
the world with competitors coming from around the world for the biggest poker
tournament, and pay day, in the southern hemisphere!
In 1998 the Australian Millions was born at the Crown Casino in Melbourne,
Australia. The event featured a $1,000 buy in and drew a whopping 74 entries
to create a prize pool of $74,000. This amount pails in comparison to where
the World Series of Poker was at at this time, with the winner of the 1998 WSOP
Main event in taking home $1 million dollars alone.
However, Crown Poker did not loose interest in the Aussie Millions and kept
plugging away to grow the tournament. By 2006, Crown had managed to attract
418 players to its event and the entry fee had grown to the WSOP Main Event
entry fee of $10,000. Players came from around the world to experience poker
down under! The prize pool grew to over $5 million dollars and poker greats
such as Daniel Negreanu, Joe Haschem (2006 WSOP Main Event Winner), Phil Helmuth
and more had come to try to win the big one in the outback.
Crown Poker also made gaining entry to the Aussie Millions as easy as possible,
even for those who can not afford the full $10,000 entry fee. Satellite poker
tournaments are carried out at online poker rooms and live at the Crown Casino
before the main event takes place. This gives players the chance to qualify
for a fraction of the $10k entry fee.
The Aussie Millions is during January of every year and runs until the middle
of January. In addition to the No Limit Hold'em Main Event, the Aussie Millions
also sports additional events such as additional no limit hold'em tournaments,
heads up championships, limit hold'em tournaments, omaha hi/lo tournaments and
multiple satellite tournaments.
