Australian Poker Championship
Aussie
Millions - Crown Casino Australian Poker Championship
The annual Australian Poker Championship takes place in January at the
Crown Casino
in Melbourne, Australia. It is often commonly referred to as the Aussie
Millions poker tournament. The poker tournament was first held in 1998 and
was initially known as simply the Australian Poker Championship. The tournament
has grown substantially since that first year and now draws top poker players
from around the world. In fact, the majority of the poker tournament
players are from outside Australia.
The "Aussie Millions" Crown Casino Australian Poker Championship is comprised of
over 15 individual poker tournaments including
Texas Holdem,
Omaha poker,
Manila poker, and
Razz
with buy-ins generally ranging from AUD $220 to about $10,500. The Aussie
Millions Australian Poker Championship started introducing a
high stakes poker tournament in 2007
with a $100,500 buy-in no limit Texas Holdem poker tournament that has become a staple of the
Aussie Millions Australian Poker Championship tournaments.
Aside from the main event $10,000 Texas Holdem Championship poker tournament, there are other poker
tournaments of note at the Australian Poker Championship including a three day
Australian Heads Up Poker Championship tournament, a Turbo No Limit Texas Holdem
Poker Tournament with 30 seconds for players to act, a $100,000 high stake poker
no limit Texas Holdem Poker Challenge, and several two day
H.O.R.S.E. poker tournaments (Texas
Holdem, Omaha Hi Lo, Razz Poker, 7 Card
Stud Poker & 7 Card Stud Hi
Lo).
There is also an Australian 2 Card Manila Poker Championship Tournament which is played with a modified deck (7’s up)
and a limit betting structure. Each player is dealt two hole cards and one
community card in the initial deal. Similar to Texas Holdem, there are 5
community cards, however players must use both of their hole cards to make the
best 5 card poker hand.
The 2004 Crown Casino Australian Poker Championship saw 133 participants at the $10,000 buy-in main event generating a prize pool of AUD $1,330,000.
In 2005, the Aussie Millions continued to grow with 263 participants paying AUD
$10,000 each to enter the Main Event, generating a prize pool of AUD $2,630,000.
The 2006, Australian Poker Championship witnessed 418 players competing for a
AUD $4,180,000 prize pool.
The 2007 Crown Casino Australian Poker Championship main even poker tournament
recorded a record 747 players generating a prize pool of AUD $7,470,000.
In 2008 the Australian Poker Championship main tournament had 780 players and a
prize pool of AUD $7,800,000.
