Just 17 players remain in Event #6: A$1,150 Six Max including Benny Glaser and Bart Lybaert with all players in the money and guaranteed A$5,685

Coming into this event, both Lybaert and Glaser had one previous Aussie Millions cash from last year's event, with Glaser's coming in the 8 Game which he final tabled, and Lybaert in the Bounty.

"I do love Melbourne," said Glaser shortly after bagging. "It's probably my favourite city and my favourite stop. I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty exhausted. I arrived two days ago and have been playing a lot.

After 14 hours of play, Glaser was happy to bag up an above average stack.

"This could easily have been a three day tournament - it's so big! 542 runners; it's a lot."

Leading the way is Ta-Wei Tou, with Lybaert in second place. Other notables include New Zealand's David Yan, 2018 WPT New Zealand Champion Nauv Kashyap, 2019 Shot Clock Shootout final tablist Travis Endersby and Peter Brasile who jumped in the Six Max after busting the Pot Limit Omaha final table in eighth place.

A big field was expected on Day 1, and with over 250 players registered by the end of the first level and 404 by the first break, the field continued to grow.

Entry closed with a total of 544 entries, 53 of which would be paid. A min-cash was worth A$2,340 and the winner will walk away with $124,355.

The bubble burst with two eliminations at the same time, meaning Michael Harb and Richard Davis split the payout.
