Australiens prestigeträchtigstes Pokerevent kehrt nach sechsjähriger Pause ins Crown Melbourne zurück und bietet vom 24. April bis 10. Mai 18 Events und garantierte Preispools in Höhe von AUD 14 Millionen (ca. €7.893.000).
Ein legendäres Turnier macht das Comeback
In der Vergangenheit waren die Aussie Millions jedes Jahr der erste Anlaufpunkt für die Poker-Community (neben der PCA auf den Bahamas), aber nicht nur durch COVID, sondern auch durch andere Business-Entwicklungen bei Crown, verschob sich der Poker-Kalender etwas und dabei fielen die Aussie Millions im Jahr 2020 komplett raus.
Jedes Jahr hoffte man auf die News, dass die beliebten Aussie Millions zurückkehren werden und 2026 ist es endlich soweit. Auf dem Plan stehen 18 Turniere mit Buy-ins zwischen AUD 1,500 (ca €845) to AUD 25,000 (ca. €14,093). Im Mittelpunkt des Programms steht das prestigeträchtige AUD 10.600 (ca. €3.889) Main Event, ein Turnier, das seit langem die größten Namen der Branche anzieht und einige der angesehensten Champions des Pokersports gekrönt hat.
Gus Hansens historischer Sieg im Jahr 2007, wobei er jede Hand dokumentierte und das längst legendäre Buch „Every Hand Revealed” veröffentlichte. Auch andere Spieler wie Bryn Kenney, Ari Engel und Toby Lewis haben das prestigeträchtigste Pokerturnier der südlichen Hemisphäre gewonnen.
Das Main Event bietet drei Starttage vom 4. bis 6. Mai. mit dem Tag 2 am 7. Mai, dem Tag 3 am 8. Mai, dem Tag 4 am 9. Mai und dem Finale am 10. Mai. Es gibt unzählige Satellite-Optionen in den Wochen davor, um so vielen Spielern wie möglich die Chance zu geben, ein weiteres geschichtsträchtiges Event zu gestalten.
Aber neben dem Main Event stehen auch zahlreiche spannende Side Events auf dem Programm, wie zum Beispiel das Event #4: AUD 1.500 Mystery Bounty vom 28. bis 30. April, das Event #8: AUD 5.000 5k Challenge vom 1. bis 2. Mai, das Event #9: AUD 25.000 25k Challenge vom 3. bis 4. Mai, das Event #13 AUD 4.000 Teams Event am 5. Mai oder das Event #14: AUD 1.500 Shot Clock Terminator am 6. Mai.
