wsop australia

wow how lucky can you get...
I am in Melbourne at the Crown Casino watching the Aussie Millions wsop 2014.
All the big names are here..
Negraneau , Ivey , etc etc etc too many to name here.
Amazing to watch ,wish I could play but cheapest entry just out of my reach this year,saving up for a few of the smaller big tourneys coming up.
Poker is now a world wide game/sport no longer limited to Vegas.
Just writing this short blog then back off to the rails .
chat soon Donks !!!!

The new leader in the Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge is Patrik Antonius with 1,500,000 chips. Antonius just eliminated 2013 world series of poker Main Event winner Ryan Riess with pocket aces against Riess' A-K. 12 players remain.
This shows that Riess must be a good player,not just a flash in the pan...

final results of the $100.000 challenge
1. Yevgeniy Timoshenko - $2,000,000
2. Mike McDonald - $1,500,000
3. Erik Seidel - $1,076,000
4. Doug Polk - $860,000
5. Patrik Antonius - $700,000
6. Daniel Negreanu - $550,000
7. David Steicke - $450,000
8. Martin Jacobson - $350,000

by the way...it was $100,000 to enter and Negreanu entered and then did 4
re-buys!!!!!!!!!!!! So in fact he still came out $50k richer !!

Classic Negreanu - get upside down early on rebuys, so you need to finish high just to break even

FWIW the Aussie Millions isn't actually part of the WSOP (Crown hosts the WSOP Asia Pacific as well, but that happens later in the year) and if you're keen to play in the tournaments, Crown runs satellites throughout the year that are much cheaper to enter. Keep an eye on the satellites in the weeks leading up too, apparently some of them this year had some pretty big overlays in terms of the number of tickets offered in the prize pools...
