Palladium VIPs earn points that make prizes. At the
bottom end there is a $50 cash bonus, while 30,000
points delivers a $5,000 WPT entry. Players are entitled

Crown
Casino Aussie Millions Poker Championship kicks off,
by Greg Tingle - 16th January 2010
Melbourne,
if not the whole of Australia, has poker fever, thanks
to casino king James Packer's brainchild, "Aussie
Millions".
Media
Man long time friend, associate and eyes and ears
of the industry, Keith "Bendigo" Sloan,
tipped us off that it would be huge and he was right
on the money.
Let's
start with some big picture stuff.... poker has been
widely acknowledged in a court of law as primarily
a game of skill. Sure, there's some luck involved,
but over time on measured tests, the skill factor
comes through. This is a key point in some of the
arguments put forward by the Poker Players Alliance.
Folks, professional poker is big business and is also
a form of sports tourism, something that's been picked
up on by the Victorian government, but something Australia's
Labor government is still trying to grasp. Maybe it
will be covered in the Aussie version of "Casino
Jack"!
Let
it be said from the get-go that Crown's Aussie Millions
gives some much needed balance into the news media
coverage of Australia's casino sector, which has been
copping a bit of a battering of late. Crown's connection
with tourism, sports tourism and high rollers is undisputed,
and the powers that be at Crown do give back to society
in a number of capacities, some of which is reported
and other elements that are done on the quite. It
was impossible to miss Warnie and Joe Hachem on Network
Ten's 7PM project last month.
It's
a given that when so many whales, high rollers and
the like are in town, there's vast financial resources
not far from the felt.
The
Salvation Army and Unicef are just a couple of worthy
causes that Crown and the powers that be have assisted
over the years.
This
year sees a reported 1,143 entrants have a punt at
Aussie Millions...a record for major poker tournaments
in Australia.
A
$1,143,000 prize pool will be split amongst the top
108 players, with first place set to collect the first
Aussie Millions Gold Championship Ring over $200,000
in cash.
Numerous
big names were in attendance for day one including
Tony G, Clonie Gowen, Sorel Mizzi, David Saab, Jason
Gray, Paul Khoury, Kenneth Damm and 2005 WSOP Champ
Joe Hachem. Players who returned to the felt for a
second chance included Tony Dunst , Emad Tahtouh,
Billy Argyros, Lee Nelson, Josh Field, Ben Delaney,
Andrew Jeffreys, Leo Boxell, Amanda De Cesare, Tino
Lechich, James Akenhead and 2009 Aussie Millions Champion
(and PartyPoker sponsored) Stewart Scott.
Nick
Haidaris has emerged with the chip lead of 165,300.
Eighty-three players remained from Day 1's starting
field. Those back for Day 2 include David Saab, JP
Kelly, Antonis Kambouroglou, Brendan Edmonds, Con
Tsapkounis, and Jim Sachinidis.
Players
not back for day 2 include Tony Dunst, 2009 Aussie
Millions Main Event Champ Stewart Scott, Emad Tahtouh,
Barny Boatman, Matthew Pearson, Rayan Nathan, Joe
Hachem, Tony G, Lee Nelson, Billy Argyros, Jonathan
Karamalikis, Michael Guzzardi, James Akenhead, Ben
Delaney, and Sorel Mizzi.
Day
2 at Crown Casino kicks off at 12:30 p.m where approximately
200 players will be giving it all they have in their
quest for the championship.
Media
Man encourages players (and management) on a winning
streak to continue to give back to society, and of
course the world is aware of those less fortunate
including in Haiti which was recently rocked by an
earthquake. Casinos and big gaming companies have
much bigger resources than most, so let's see if they
can even come close to helping to the extent that
they did when the Aussie Victorian bushfires hit last
March.

Aussie
Millions Winner Signs With PartyPoker - 6th October
2009
Stewart
Scott, who made history earlier this year by winning
the Aussie Millions — the first time an Australian
has done so in the modern era — has signed a
deal to represent PartyPoker.com,
the company recently announced.
A
former gourmet chef turned professional poker player,
the 37-year-old Scott perfectly captures the spirit
of the casual-turned-professional poker player. He’s
making his Party Poker debut at the PokerNews Cup
in Melbourne, which recently got underway.
"It's
great to put pen to paper and sign-up to represent
PartyPoker.com
-
it’s always been my site of choice," said
Scott in a news release.
"I am looking forward to defending my Aussie
Millions title in January and am even more excited
that I will be doing this as an ambassador for PartyPoker
with a large team of online qualifiers!"

Aussie Millions
The
Australian Poker Championship, commonly known as Aussie
Millions is a poker tournament held at the Crown Casino,
in Melbourne, Australia. It is the Southern Hemisphere's
richest poker tournament with a prize pool in excess
of AU$7 Million.
Poker
at Crown was introduced in June 1997, with the first
major championship held shortly after in July 1998.
The Main Event was a AU$1,000 buy in Limit Holdem
tournament that attracted 74 entries with a AU$74,000
prize pool.
The
Crown Australian Poker Championship, or the ‘Aussie
Millions’ as it became known, moved to January
in 2001, attracting 40 entrants with a AU$5,000 buy
in for a prize pool of AU$200,000. January 2003 saw
the event go international, attracting a field of
122 entrants and a AUD$1,200,000 prize pool.
In
January 2005, the Aussie Millions continued to grow
with 263 participants paying AU$10,000 each to enter
the No Limit Holdem Main Event, generating the biggest
prize pool ever in the Southern Hemisphere of AU$2,630,000.
Over half the field was from overseas including players
from New Zealand, England, Ireland, Norway, Denmark,
USA, Sweden, Holland, Canada, Italy and Lebanon.
In
2006, 418 players competed for a share of the AU$4,180,000
prize pool, including some of the biggest names in
the Poker world such as WSOP Champion Joe Hachem,
along with Phil Ivey, John Juanda and Daniel Negreanu.
The
2007 championship commenced on Sunday 14th January,
2007 with the final table held on Friday 19th January,
2007. The buy-in was AU$10,500 (AU$10,000+AU$500).
A record 747 players entered, which generated a prize
pool of AU$7,470,000. The top 80 players were "in
the money" and received between AU$15,000 and
AU$1,500,000 each.
The
2008 championship concluded on Sunday 20th January,
2008 with the winner being the 21 year old Russian
Alexander Kostritsyn. The buy-in was AU$10,500 (AU$10,000+AU$500).
A record 780 players entered, which generated a prize
pool of AU$7,800,000. The top 80 players were "in
the money" and received between AU$15,000 and
