376 Players With A Dream
There were 182 players registered on Day 1a, and Day 1b saw 207 added to the mix before yesterdays Day 1c brought in an additional 337. That made for a total of 726 entries, a fair bit more than recent years, and the fourth largest Aussie Millions Main Event in its 19-year history.
In fact, the field size is likely to grow a little bit more as registration will remain open till the end of the first level of play today.
Of those 726 players, 376 advanced from the first three starting flights. Australian poker super star James Obst leads with 212,100, followed by Terence Clee (183,000) and Jens Lakemeier (175,000). John Georges (7,500), PokerStars Team Pro Yaxi Zhu (7,400), and Ron Shoshan (4,200) are starting out the shortest.
Table 9 will be the feature table today, live streamed by Jason Somerville on Twitch. You can find that coverage on RunItUp.tv.
The first level of play will be 400/800 with a 100 ante. Five 90-minutes levels of play are scheduled with a 15-minute break after each. There will not be a dinner break today, so play should wrap up around 9 p.m.
