The focus of the poker universe will take a southerly turn over the next couple of weeks as the 2015 Aussie Millions takes centre stage.This year's festival Down Under runs from today until 2 February and will include 21 events. In addition to the $10,000 Main Event, there'll be plenty for the high rollers to enjoy with the $250,000 LK Boutique Challenge and the $100,000 Challenge both returning.The action in Melbourne starts today with first of four opening flights in the opening $1,150 no limit hold'em event.Top billing goes to the $10,600 Main Event which gets under way on Sunday 25 January.“Crown Melbourne’s Aussie Millions Poker Championship has effectively become one of the top poker majors and a favorite amongst some of the most renowned players in the world, and the stage has never been brighter,” said Jim Preston, Director of Poker for series organiser Crown Poker.Last year's Aussie Millions proved to be a classic with Ami Barer beating Sorel Mizzi to the Main Event title and Phil Ivey pocketing $4m after winning the $250,000 Super High Roller.The cash action was pretty spectacular too. None more so than for Doug Polk who managed to lose a $700k pot to Patrik Antonius after a mistimed bluff.It was also the scene for one of the craziest hands of the year (see below).
