2020 Aussie Millions Opening Event

There were a total of 255 entries in the second flight of the 2020 Aussie Millions Opening Event, bringing the overall number so far to 497.

The tournament comes with a $1,000,000 guarantee, and with three flights to go, they are well on their way to surpassing that amount and perhaps even challenge the record of 1,752, set last year when Muhammad Asad won the largest 1k tournament in the Southern Hemisphere for A$219,980 (US$158,385) after a three-way deal.

From Flight 2, just 38 advanced bringing the total number of players through to Day 2 at 66. Notables advancing include 2019 Australian Poker Hall of Fame Inductee Jonathan Karamalikis (65,900), last year's fifth-place finisher Pierce McKellar (54,100), Kristy Arnett (50,400), Bart Lybaert (49,900), 2018 Opening Event champion Benedikt Eberle (47,700) and Loni Harwood (30,200).
