Crown Casino has come in for some much needed publicity this week with the star tof the Aussie Millions Poker tournament.

This year we’ll see 1143 entrants, meaning that the prize pool will be $1,143,000 and the winner will get a  huge $200,000. Amongst the sharks in the tournament is Aussie WSOP champ Joe Hachem. The early chip leader is Nick Naidaris.

The Aussie Millions is a great tournament that generates great worldwide publicity for Australia and tourist income. It’s also great for the country to have a world class poker event – especially seeing as there are so many poker fans over here.

The Crown Casino in Melbourne is the ideal location and always attracts positive reviews from everyone who attends the event from overseas. It gives us Aussies the chance, once again, to show how great we are at hosting international events and also shows the rest of the world the enthusiasm for gambling there is down under.
