Due to a predicted large number of entrants, the Aussie Millions Main Event will feature three starting flights; Sunday January 27, Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 January.
“The 2018 Aussie Millions is proving to be our biggest and best to date and we can’t wait to see what the 2019 tournament will bring as the poker stage has never been brighter, and the team are already hard at work to make the next event the biggest and best yet,” says Aussie Millions Tournament Director, Joel Williams.
Nearly 100 poker tables will be set up in the Crown Poker Room to accommodate the thousands of players from over 35 countries who visit the complex during January to compete for a share of a total estimated prize pool of over AUD$24 million.
