Who Will Be the First Champion of the 2012 Crown��s Aussie Millions Poker Championship?

Last night, Day 2 of the 2012 Aussie Millions Opening Event came to an end with ten players, forgoing the original plan of playing to a winner and adding an impromptu Day 3 to the schedule. Leading the final table is Scott Wilson, who comes in with 2.628 million, while young Australian pro Brendon Rubie is in second place with 1.625 million.

As we��ve highlighted many time before, this event was a ��repchage��; meaning players who busted in the earlier flights were able to reenter in the following. The first starting flight, Day 1a, drew 274 players, while Day 1b a bit less at 251; however, Day 1c boosted the number as 421 entries made the three-day total 946 players. The remaining players are guaranteed at least $10,900 AUD, though a juicy $200,000 is waiting for the winner.

Here��s a look at the final table of the 2012 Crown��s Aussie Millions Poker Championship Opening Event:

With action kicking off at 15,000/30,000 blinds, there are obviously a few short stacks at the final table. That being the case, we expect some early knockouts as the big stacks look to bully the table. The final table action on Day 3 is set to begin at 12:10 AEST Monday (17:10 PST Sunday), just a little over two hours from right now, so be sure to join us then as PokerNews brings you all the actions and eliminations as the first champion of the 2012 Crown��s Aussie Millions Poker Championship is crowned.
