The eventual winner of the 2017 Crown’s Aussie Millions Main Event will join 2016 winner Ari Engel of Toronto, Canada (pictured), in an illustrious group in history, walking away with an estimated AUD$1.5 million dollar first prize as well as the Main Event Champion bracelet worth over $25,000.
Crown Melbourne’s Tournament Director Joel Williams said "Crown’s Aussie Millions Poker Championship continues to absolutely stamp itself on the global ‘must-attend’ list for both recreational players and seasoned pros alike. With a schedule now featuring 26 official Championship events, 2017 looms as one of the biggest years yet".
While the entry fees may sit outside the budget of some players, everyone can qualify via the countless satellite tournaments in the lead-up and during the event itself, offering players the chance to win a place in the Aussie Millions Main Event for a fraction of the AUD$10,600 entry fee.
