Aussie Millions Schedule

The first thing to note about the Aussie Millions schedule is that the event is one of the earliest major poker series each year, with Aussie Millions games usually played throughout January. The vast majority of tournaments on the Aussie Millions schedule are No Limit Hold'em affairs that have buy-ins from less than $1,000 up to $100K. There are also occasionally high stakes cash games included as part of the Aussie Millions schedule, which is a treat for local poker fans who rarely get to see the game played live for such massive stakes.

Aussie Millions Main Event

The crown jewel of the Aussie Millions is the Aussie Millions Main Event. This has a buy-in of around $10,000 and generally lasts for 5 or so days. The Aussie Millions Main Event routinely offers one of the biggest live tournament prize pools outside of the World Series of Poker, with first place generally taking away a prize worth $2 million or more.

Many pro players fly in to Melbourne specifically to take part in the Aussie Millions Main Event, and they usually have a great deal of success. This is likely due to the large amount of dead money contributed by local players - while Australia has produced a number of highly talented poker greats, its overall player base is not the best.

Aussie Millions Satellites

Aussie Millions satellites are a very common sight at online poker rooms near the end of the year. These can be for any of the events on the Aussie Millions schedule, but most will be aimed at the Aussie Millions Main Event.

The bigger sites will sometimes even offer Aussie Millions satellites that cover travel and accommodation in addition to the buy-in. This can make Aussie Millions satellites a great chance at a holiday, with the added bonus of giving you a chance to make a couple million dollars to extend your time away from work.

Aussie Millions Final Table

The Aussie Millions final table is usually the interesting kind that has a mix of known pro players, some up and comers, and a few dangerous or dangerously lucky amateurs. This makes the Aussie Millions final table one to watch and the tournament structure almost always makes for a fairly quick resolution, without turning the last few places into a game of sheer luck.

Aussie Millions Results

For many tournament leaderboards for annual awards and the like, the Aussie Millions results are quite serious for determining the likely contenders in Player of the Year standings and similar rankings. While players have a long time after the Aussie Millions to earn more leaderboard points, players who top the Aussie Millions results in multiple events often leave the rest of the poker playing populace having to simply catch up through the rest of the year.

Aussie Millions Winners

There is nothing you can say that is absolute about Aussie Millions winners, as they come in all kinds. The 2011 Aussie Millions winner was Australian player David Gorr. The 2010 Aussie Millions winner was another little known Australian player named Tyron Krost, but a few years back the 2007 Aussie Millions winner was Gus Hansen. All kinds of players have become Aussie Millions winners, but we expect more international pro players to win in the future as they start to hit the Aussie Millions final table with more regularity.
