Today at the Aussie Millions: Two Winners Crowned
It's the busiest day of the 2019 Aussie Millions so far, and PokerNews is going to be on hand to bring you all the action.
Two events get underway today, with two playing down to a winner including the AUD$1,150 Opening Event.
Just 15 players remain with over AUD$300,000 awaiting the winner.
Here's today's schedule:
| Day | Event | Time | Buy-in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21st January | Event #4: Pot-Limit Omaha | 12:10 PM | AUD$1,150 |
| Opening Event Final Day | 12:30 PM | Registration closed | |
| Event #3: No Limit Hold'em Shot Clock Shootout Day 2 | 1 pm | Registration closed | |
| Event #5: No Limit Hold'em Mix Max | 6:10 PM | AUD$1,150 |
The first event to get underway is the AUD$1,150 Pot-Limit Omaha event which was won last year by Australian Andrew Locke who topped a field of 284 players to take home AUD$69,140.
Players will start with 10,000 in chips and play 18 40-minute levels or earlier if final table is reached.
In addition to crowning the winner in the Opening Event and the final stages of the Shot Clock Shootout take place later today.
A total of 20 table winners will return today at 1 pm, and will be drawn to three shootout tables of seven, seven and six players. The top three of each table will advance to a final table of nine, with the winner walking away with AUD$46,220 and the ANTON Championship Ring.
And finally at 6:10 PM Event #5: No Limit Hold'em Mix Max gets underway. Each level is 40 minutes and players are allowed one re-entry. Late registration is available for six levels.
Last year Dutchman Bas de Laat secured his first live tournament win by winning the event for AUD$72,155 after defeating a field of 285 players.
Play will begin as a full ring game and will continue until there are 60 entrants. Seats will then be redrawn and play will continue six-handed until eight entrants remain. Play will cease when the money is reached and will restart at 1pm tomorrow.
