Cards are in the Air
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
The cards are officially in the air and the shuffle up and deal was done by Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff. Well known for playing cricket in Australia, the Brit grew up with chess and also plays poker from time to time as well. Unfortunately, Flintoff cannot compete in the Opening Event due to work duties, though.
Dunst Joins Field
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
One of the most-easy to recognize players in today's field surely is Tony Dunst. As international well known poker pro, the American is setting another standard in always dressing up nicely when playing and sure enough came in to take his seat while wearing a jacket.
In one of his first few hands at the table, there was a limped three-way pot with Dunst in the big blind. The flop 
saw a bet worth 225 by the player in the small blind and both his opponents including Dunst tossed their cards into the muck.

Take Us To Your Leader
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
As the first level of this first Aussie Millions Championship event comes to a close, a local Melbourne grinder has emerged as the early chip leader.
Luke McLean, who is no stranger to success at Crown having cashed for upwards of $70,000 in tournaments here, just got off to a fast start, busting one foe when he flopped a set of eights.
His unfortunate opponent had 
for top two, and after a raising war on the flop, got it in, failed to improve and went broke, allowing McLean's ascention into the chip lead.

Two Unusual Suspects
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Marc MacDonell had spent some time in Sydney with his family and then headed over to Melbourne to compete in the Aussie Millions. Louis Salter, the younger brother of Jack, is also here as well.

The 2014 WSOP APAC Champion is Here
Nível 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Despite having lost quite some chips from the initial stack of 10,000 already, 2014 World Series of Poker Asia Pacific Main Event champion Scott Davies is still all smiles. "Oh, they are all over the place," Davis pointed to his opponents while laughing. At his table, Peter Aristidou also just sat down with a fresh stack.
Their table is in the secondary tournament area, where another Satellite for this very tournament currently takes place.
