The poker world will converge on the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia this week for the 2015 Aussie Millions Poker Championship, the 18th annual running of this storied festival. The 21-event series will run from Jan. 14 – Feb. 2 and is part of the PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour for the second year in a row.
“Crown Melbourne’s Aussie Millions Poker Championship has effectively become one of the top poker majors and a favorite amongst some of the most renowned players in the world, And the stage has never been brighter,” said Crown Melbourne’s Director of Poker Jim Preston.
The centerpiece of the whole affair is the $10,600 AUD no-limit hold’em main event which will run from Jan. 25 through Feb. 1. The three starting days will each get underway at 12:30 PM local time on Jan. 25 – 27, with play continuing on from there until a champion is decided on Feb. 1 at the final table. In 2014 Ami Barer topped a 668-player field to earn the title, the $1.6 million AUD first-place prize and 2,100 Card Player Player of the Year points. Barer went on to finish second in the 2014 POY race.
In addition to the main event the 2015 Aussie Millions will once again feature a full slate of high roller events, including the $25,000 AUD high roller, the $100,000 AUD super high roller and the LK Boutique $250,000 challenge. In 2014 the two largest events of the series drew unprecedented numbers: Yevgeniy Timoshenko topped afield of 76 entries in the $100,000 AUD buy-in to win $2 million AUD and Phil Ivey came out on top from a 46-entry field in the gigantic $250,000 AUD event to win $4 million AUD.
