Enter Ivey and Blom
Two giants in poker, Phil Ivey and Viktor Blom, have just arrived for the third and final flight of the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event.
For Ivey, this is his first major tournament appearance in roughly three months. He was last seen at the 2013 World Series of Poker Europe, and has spent the last quarter of a year enjoying his time in Cabo, Mexico and preparing for the launch of his much-anticipated "Ivey League."
Ivey has had tons of success down under, winning his ninth WSOP gold bracelet at APAC last year, the $250,000 Challenge in 2012, and finishing runner-up in the $100,000 Challenge in 2011.
Blom has never cashed in an event on Australian soil - and only cashed in one event in 2013 - but when one of the most feared online cash game players walks into a room, players and fans take notice.
