Aussie Millions: A few days remaining before the kickoff of the edition 2013
In Australia, Crown Casino of Melbourne prepares to host the poker event of the year in the country, the Aussie Millions edition 2013. Indeed, it is the second largest poker tournament in the world and it still looks like the biggest poker tournament ever held in the southern hemisphere. The kickoff will take place in a week. For the history, the Aussie Millions is held at the beginning of each year and includes about 26 tournaments. Initially, the tournament was known as "The crown Australian Poker championships." It was only since 2003 that the tournament was finally called Aussie Millions. This first edition was marked by the rising of the main event buy-in which was set at $ 10,000 and the proposal of a guaranteed prize pool of $ 1 million. And the tournament earned immediately the estimated success. International stars joined Crown Melbourne at each new edition. Last year, for example, Phil Ivey, Scotty Nguyen, Annette Obrestad, Daniel Negreanu and Tom Dwan have been part of the field.
For this edition 2013, the $ 10,600 buy-in main event of the poker tournament will begin on January 27, 2013 and it will offer a guaranteed prize pool of $ 20 million. The champion is sure to start with at least $ 2 million in his pocket. And regarding side event tournaments, the Aussie Millions will be once again marked by the holding of the world's most expensive tournament for a buy-in of $ 250,000, except of course other more recent tournaments like the Big One for One Drop. This competition will still be part of the program this year, as the $ 100,000 Challenge.
