The current season of the prestigious Aussie Millions live poker festival is currently in full swing, but the organisers are clearly looking well ahead, this week publishing details on the 2019 iteration of the event.
Next year’s Aussie Millions will kick off on Tuesday 15 January 2019 and will again be hosted in the Crown Poker Room, Melbourne, Australia.
The action-packed schedule will include the official gold bracelet event, satellites and cash games, along with daily tournaments running for 21 consecutive days.
The tournament is Australasias largest and longest-running, and includes the coveted Aussie Millions Main Event, slated to run over eight days from Sunday 27 January Sunday 3 February 2019 with over 700 entrants and an estimated total prize pool of A$7 million. Due to the large number of entrants the Aussie Millions Main Event will feature three starting flights; Sunday 27 January, Monday 28 January and Tuesday 29 January.
The 2018 Aussie Millions is proving to be our biggest and best to date and we cant wait to see what the 2019 tournament will bring as the poker stage has never been brighter, and the team are already hard at work to make the next event the biggest and best yet, says Aussie Millions Tournament Director, Joel Williams.
Nearly 100 poker tables will be set up across the complex to accommodate the thousands of players from over 35 countries who visit Crown during January to compete for a share of a total estimated prize pool of over A$24 million.
The current slate of individual events offered during the 2019 Aussie Millions are being finalised, with 26 official gold ring events expected and a broad range of other poker variations at both entry level and championship level.
