Who Will be Crowned the 2019 Aussie Millions Main Event Champion?

As of 12.30 p.m. local time, the final seven players out of a record-breaking field of 822 entries will return to the feature table at the Crown Casino in Melbourne to determine the champion of the 2019 Aussie Millions AS$10,600 Main Event. The lion's share of the AU$8,220,000 prize pool is still up for grabs and all finalists are already guaranteed AU$242,000 for their efforts. All eyes are set on the top prize of AU$1,850,000, the bragging rights and ANTON championship bracelet and the opportunity to emerge victorious in the biggest poker tournament on Australian soil thus far.

Mike Del Vecchio finished fifth one year ago and has made back-to-back final tables, eventually leading the final seven with a stack of 5,465,000, which is good enough for more than 100 big blinds when the action resumes. He is very closely followed by Andrew Hinrichsen with 5,300,000, one of three Aussies that aim to keep the title on home soil. His two countrymen Matthew Wakeman and Clinton Taylor follow with a stack of 4,010,000 and 3,845,000 respectively, while Hamish Crawshaw (3,640,000) hails from nearby New Zealand.

Last but not least, Gyeong Byeong (1,540,000) and American superstar Bryn Kenney (920,000) will enter the final table as the two short stacks.
