Bubble Day Approaches
Exactly 150 players remain in the 2017 Aussie Millions Main Event, 150 players will flock to the Crown Melbourne poker room to start their Day 3 at 12:30 p.m. (in about an hour time). It's bubble day, with 80 players getting paid a minimum of AUD$15,000. 70 players will go home empty-handed, and it's all going to happen today.
Seven levels are scheduled for today's play, starting with 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante. The levels are once again 90 minutes long, so it's going to be as long a day as the starting days were - play should finish around 2 a.m. again.
Leading the pack is nonother than Jennifer Tilly. She'll bring a stack just shy of half a million to the table today. Players like Nick Rampone (29,500), Thomas Boivin (29,000) and Tino Lechich (22,200) are at the other end of the spectrum.
