Unless you're living in Australia, getting to Melbourne can prove to be quite the trek. That was certainly the case for some pros who were at the PCA just last week.
Australian pro Brendon Rubie, who currently ranks 22nd on Australia's all-time money list with $1,179,432 in live tournament earnings, has been living in Honduras with Nick "FU_15" Maimone, who won the 2016 PCA $25K High Roller for $996,480, and originally wasn't going to make the trip.
However, he changed his mind at the last minute, and after 40 hours of travel — which included an unexpected stop in Sydney for his plane to refuel — he arrived in Melbourne.
Another player who was on that same flight was one of Chile's best, Nick Yunis:
Longest flight lifetime became even longer after an unexpected pit stop in Sydney to re-fuel! At last we made it to Melbourne, AUSTRALIA!! #Follow @nickyunis
Both Rubie and Yunis are in action today, so we'll be sure to keep an eye on them to see if their voyage results in riches here in the $25,000 Challenge.

The plane Antonio Esfandiari and Brian Rast were in, had to divert to Sydney because of bad weather in Melbourne here this morning. Their plane is now scheduled to depart around 4pm and as late registration is open till 8:40pm, they are gonna make it. So we'll see them later today!
Our flight take-off delayed until 4PM - so I won the bet, but... @CrownPoker when is 25k late reg open until??Follow @tsarrast
