Crown Melbourne Announces 2014 Aussie Millions Schedule
In just over five months, the poker world will have its eyes fixated on Crown Casino in beautiful Melbourne, Australia for the 2014 Aussie Millions. On Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2013, Crown announced the dates and schedule for the festival. Starting on Thursday, Jan. 23 and running through Monday, Feb. 10, 2014, the series will feature 20 spectacular events.
Things will kick off with the AU$1,100 No-Limit Hold'em event that features three starting days. The widely popular AU$1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Accumulator event will also be on the schedule, as will the Aussie Millions mainstays AU$25,000 Challenge, AU$100,000 Challenge and AU$250,000 Challenge.
Of course, one can't forget about one of the largest tournaments in the world — the largest tournament in the Southern Hemisphere — the AU$10,000 Aussie Millions Main Event, which takes place starting on Sunday, Feb. 2 and will run through Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014.
Last year, Mervin Chan took home the Main Event title and AU$1.6 million in first-place prize money after defeating a field of 629 runners. The final table included such stars as Patrik Antonius, Dan Shak, [Removed:17] and Jay Tan.
