Welcome to Day 1b of Aussie Millions $10,600 Main Event
One flight down and two to go at the 2018 Aussie Millions $10,600 Main Event at the lovely Crown Melbourne.
After a day that saw over 200 players enter and just shy of 100 advance on to Day 2 here in Victoria, Australia. That puts the event right on pace to match last year's turnout of more than 700 runners.
Day 1b is set for a 12:30 p.m. kickoff. That means another lengthy day of seven levels, each lasting 90 minutes apiece. The day will see levels progress from 50/100 on to 300/600/100 like so:
| Level | Small Blind | Big Blind | Ante |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 50 | 100 | |
| 2 | 100 | 200 | |
| 3 | 100 | 200 | 25 |
| 4 | 150 | 300 | 25 |
| 5 | 200 | 400 | 50 |
| 6 | 250 | 500 | 75 |
| 7 | 300 | 600 | 100 |
Players get 15-minute breaks after each level and a dinner break after Level 4.
Day 1a saw Lee Armstrong top the field with 165,400, while other notables advancing included David Gorr, Manny Stavropoulos, Mike Del Vecchio, Mel Judah, Benny Spindler, Jonas Lauck and Max Silver. We'll see if anyone can match Armstrong's total as Day 1b rolls through its ups and down.
