Poker News: Aussie Millions, Win a Seat, Titan Poker, Tournament

Aussie Millions's Guaranteed First Prize Of AUD $2 Million Turns Titan Poker Players Attention To Melbourne In January 2009.

In about 50 days, the attention of the poker-playing world will be fixed on one of the biggest events on the international circuit - the Aussie Millions. Leading online poker room Titan Poker is awarding seats at the 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event as part of the sensational $12,000 prize packages players can win at one of its ongoing Satellites - you don't need to go to Australia to win your seat.

Titan Poker is staging regular Satellites as well as weekly Super Satellites every Wednesday at 20:05 awarding the Aussie Millions entry packages to winning players. Poker room's Spokesperson Robin Steele is confident that the response this year "will eclipse that of ANY previous tournament!" More than 2000 people are expected to descend upon the Crown Casino in Melbourne this January, and the presence of the TV cameras and the fact that first place is guaranteed at AUD$2,000,000 is certain to keep interest high.

The Main Event, AUD$10,500 No Limit Holdem tournament is scheduled to run from the 18th - 25th January and will be the culmination of sixteen tournaments, promising to be the most memorable to date. Over 400 foreigners are expected to make the long journey 'Down Under', which is quite a contrast from the inaugural event in 1998 where only ten non-Australians paid the $1,000 buy-in and competed for the $74,000 prize pool.

• COVER the buy-in ($10,500 AUD) for the Main Event. (Approx $7,200 USD)
• PROVIDE you with up to $3,600 for flights and spending.
• ARRANGE and pay $1,200 for eight nights (January 17th-25th) accomodation at the luxurious Crown Promenade Hotel in Melbourne.
• Direct buy-ins to the Aussie Millions Super Satellite are available for $400 + $30, but by partaking in one of the ongoing Sit 'N' Go satellites, or at one of Titan Poker's regular Multi-Table Qualifiers, you can play your way through from as little as $5 + $0.5!
