After the Poker action head for level 3 at around 10.00pm of the Crown Complex to Studio 3 for the end of competition party open to all competition entrants and partners.
The Australian Poker Championship (more commonly known as the Aussie Millions) is held at the Crown Casino, Melbourne, Australia and is without doubt the richest poker tournament in the Southern Hemisphere. Now a regular feature of the international poker circuit, this top event is now celebrating its10th Anniversary and is always eagerly anticipated by the pros and extraordinary players like me and you.
Poker at the Crown Casino was first introduced in June 1997 and the first major tournament was held in July 98. The buy in to the inaugural main event was $1,000, there were 74 entries for the prize pool of $74,000.
In 2001 the Championship was moved to January and the 40 entrants paid who $5,000 to buy in to the tournament were witnessing the start of a legend of poker. The prize pool that year was $200,000.
In 2003 the popularity of the tournament grew and this is when international interest was first being shown. There were 122 entrants playing for a share of $1,200,000 in winnings.
January 2005 saw 263 players buying in for $10,000 and the Aussie Millions officially became the tournament with the largest prize pool ever in the Southern Hemisphere, the prize pool being $2,630,000. The interest generated for this tournament was reflected by the players origin, 50% of those at the tables were from overseas, they hailed from UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Holland, Italy, Lebanon, Denmark, USA New Zealand and Canada. 2005 was the year that the Aussie Millions made its mark and was now firmly in the poker players diary.
The next year the good and the great flocked to the Crown Casino in Melbourne for the Aussie Millions, the likes of Joe Hacham (then the current WSOP Champion), Phil Ivey, John Juanda and Daniel Negreanu. 2006 saw 418 players battling it out for a share of the $4,180,000 prize pool.
Sunday, January 14th saw the start of the Championship in 2007 with the final table being played on the following Friday the 19th. For a buy in of AU$10,500 (AU$10,000 + AU$500) a record 747 entered the tournament, the top 80 player finishing in the money winning from $15,000 to 1,500,000 each.2009 saw 36 year old Australian Stewart Scott bagging the AUD$2m 1st prize on 26th January having beaten off 681players. The buy in was $10,500 and the total amount of prize money divvied out was AUD$6.81m+. Aussie Millions are now smokin hot!
Bondi's best, 23 year old Tyron Krost, took the crown in 2010 out of a field of 746 and the prize purse containing a huge AUD$2m.
Last year the new king of poker was crowned on 30th January 2011, David Gorr a local 68 year old grandfather of five took home AUD$2m! David Gorr overcame a massive field of 721 entrants, well done David!
So the Roll of Honour looks like this:-
