Für den Rekord hat es beim Main Event der Aussie Millions Poker Championship 2026 powered by CrownBet im Crown Poker Room Melbourne nicht gereicht. Beeindruckend sind die Zahlen beim Comeback aber trotzdem.
An Tag 2, der mit 491 Spielern gestartet war, kauften sich noch einmal 64 Pokercracks ein, womit die Gesamtbeteiligung auf 770 anstieg.
Damit blieb man 52 Spieler unter dem bisherigen Rekord von 2019, aber mit einem Preisgeld von AU$ 7,7 Millionen, elf sechsstelligen Preisgeldern und einer Siegprämie von $1.667.050 kann man definitiv von einem großen Erfolg sprechen.
An Tag 2 wurde kräftig aussortiert, sodass am Ende 176 Spieler übrig blieben, die um die 95 bezahlten Plätze konkurrieren.
Aus deutschsprachiger Sicht blieben folgende Spieler im Rennen:
Sebastian Trisch, 255.000
Moritz Reiner, 76.500
Timo Hettinger, 71.000
Während es für die beiden Shortstacks eng wird, hat Sebastian Trisch noch alle Chancen auf eine Top-Platzierung.
Ebenfalls gut im Rennen liegt Joe Hachem. Der Weltmeister von 2005 beendete den Turniertag mit 528.000 Chips auf Platz 12, mit etwa halb so vielen Chips wie der neue Führende Liu Yang, der 1,028 Millionen Chips an Tag 3 auspacken wird.
