Seat 6: Ben Tollerene (1,522,000)
Coming into the final day of the 2016 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge, Ben Tollerene leads the way with 1.522 million in chips. If you were to only go by the player's Hendon Mob page, you'd know that he's from Texas and has nearly $500,000 in live tournament earnings.
The 28-year-old player is one of the best and biggest online poker players in the world, regularly crushing limits most of us can only think about playing in our wildest dreams. He started playing back in 2005 in home games with friends before he migrated to online poker in the years to come, working his way up from the $0.10/$0.25 level to the $5/$10 level within a couple years. The progression continued from there and not thing everyone know, "Ben86" or "Bttech86" was a regular in the $200/$400, $400/$800, and $500,$1,000 games against the biggest names in poker.
Although he hasn't found a ton of live poker success that resonates with the common fan, make no doubt about it that Tollerene is a remarkable player and will be extremely tough to beat coming into the final day of this event with a large lead. His biggest live tournament cash prior to this one was a €99,800 ($112,663) score from August 2015 when he took 10th in the European Poker Tour Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller event.
