Aussie Millions
2010 Episode 2
$100,000 buy-in Part 2
Crown Casino, Melbourne, Australia
Release Date: 13 June 2010
The Australian Poker Championship, commonly known as Aussie Millions, is a series of poker tournaments held at the Crown Casino, in Melbourne, Australia. The Main Event of the series is the Southern Hemisphere's richest poker tournament with a prize pool in excess of AU$7 million.
Poker at Crown was introduced in June 1997, with the first major championship held shortly after in July 1998. The Main Event was a $1,000 buy in Limit Holdem tournament that attracted 74 entries with a $74,000 prize pool. The Crown Australian Poker Championship, or the 'Aussie Millions' as it became known, moved to January in 2001, attracting 40 entrants with a $5,000 buy in for a prize pool of $200,000. January 2003 saw the event go international, attracting a field of 122 entrants and a $1,200,000 prize pool. In January 2005, the Aussie Millions continued to grow with 263 participants paying $10,000 each to enter the No Limit Hold'em Main Event, generating the biggest prize pool ever in the Southern Hemisphere of $2,630,000. Over half the field was from overseas including players from New Zealand, England, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, the USA, Sweden, the Netherlands, Canada, Italy and Lebanon. In 2006, 418 players competed for a share of the $4,180,000 prize pool, including some of the biggest names in the Poker world such as WSOP Champion Joe Hachem, along with Phil Ivey, John Juanda and Daniel Negreanu. The 2007 championship commenced on Sunday 14 January 2007 with the final table held on Friday 19 January 2007. The buy-in was $10,500 ($10,000+$500). A record 747 players entered, which generated a prize pool of $7,470,000. The top 80 players were "in the money" and received between $15,000 and $1,500,000 each.
The 2008 championship concluded on Sunday 20 January 2008 with the winner being the 21 year old Russian Alexander Kostritsyn. The buy-in was $10,500 ($10,000+$500). A record 780 players entered, which generated a prize pool of $7,800,000. The top 80 players were "in the money" and received between $15,000 and $1,650,000 each. The 2009 event will feature a total of 15 tournaments. The Main Event will have a guaranteed $2 million first prize. It will also feature ten players taking part in the first Million Dollar Poker Cash Game, the largest poker game of its kind anywhere in the world. Ten players will be required to stake a minimum of $1 million, though it is expected that some players will bring more to the table. The Aussie Millions is now regarded as the largest poker tournament in the Southern Hemisphere and the sixth-largest internationally (by prizepool). It is expected that 800 players will take to the felt for the Main Event, with Fox Sports Net broadcasting the tournament to more than 100 million homes worldwide.

Durrrr was trying to do something that is very difficult, floating out of position on the flop. Anyway if you guys didn't know, durrrr started with free 50 $ starting capital from PokerFrik website.

He staked Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi also in the Main Event (this is however just speculation). If anyone is looking for a free 50 $ starting capital, check Pokerfrik it worked well for me :)

Patrik Antonius ... ( 1 year ago by mehedi5551)

Patrik Antonius had a pretty bad start this year, and at one point he was down over $3,6M. Guys, is it really possible to get free 50 $ from the sites like PokerFrik?

I don't know ... ( 1 year ago by mehedi5551)

I don't know jungleman12's game as well as I know Antonius', but if I was pressed to make a prediction for this match I would go with durrrr. Well durrrr built his whole bankroll with only 50 $ free deposit from Pokerfrik website so i guess he's the better player.

Gustav Hansen? heh ( 1 year ago by perplexed76)

Even in this case Antonius had over 22% equity, but the king on the river was of no use to him so theAshman103 took down the largest pot of the day. Btwn Antonius started poker with free 50 $ starting capital from PokerFrik website.

Possibly he was hoping for a chance to take the pot away on the river if he didn't hit his hand. This is why i have started with free 50 $ i got from PokerFrik so i don't care if i lose :D

I don't know how jungleman12 would have reacted to that, but it might have been difficult for him to continue with the hand if he thought he was drawing to only a flush draw. Lool it's funny that jungleman started poker with free 50 dollars from Pokerfrik site.
