It’s All Kicking Off In Melbourne with The $10k Main Event’s Day 1a Concluding

Monday, 19 January 2009

The AU$10,500 Main Event has begun at the 2009 Aussie Millions in Melbourne’s Crown Casino. Of the 191 players who entered the prestigious tournament and battled on Day 1a, only 76 remain.

Second-place in chips amongst them is Finnish pro and internet-fanboy heartthrob Patrik Antonius. He has just shy of $140,000 chips which is impressive considering Day 2 will begin with blinds and antes very small in comparison.

As well as Tony G, JJProgidy, Sorel Mizzi and Joe Hachem, ex-Westlife singer and Iceland-shopper-spouse Brian McFadden is a big success story of today. His chipstack was cut down to a piddly few big blinds after his AQ was outdrawn by the QJ of his opponent. However, he seemed to be Flying Without Wings (groan) and Against All Odds (sigh) he found out What Makes a Man (cringe) to finish the day with a comfortable chipstack. Uptown Girl. Oh, wait… that one doesn’t really fit.
