The 2009 Aussie Millions Poker Championship

Win a seat at the 2009 Aussie Millions!

We’re kicking the New Year off in style by giving you the perfect way to turn those January blues into a huge payday in the sun! We are already sending hundreds of players to the Bahamas for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, but now we also want to send you to Melbourne for the legendary Aussie Millions Poker Championship! Enter any of our daily satellites for your shot at making it to one of the $530 satellites, where you’ll get to play for prize packages worth $8,000 - including Main Event buy-in and money for expenses.

Anyone that’s played at the PokerStars APPT Grand Final in Sydney will already know that the poker action in Australia is scorching hot. The Aussie Millions is held in the summer sun at the famous Crown Casino in Melbourne - the place where Team PokerStars Pro and 2005 WSOP* winner Joe Hachem honed his skills. It’s got all the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas, making it the ideal spot for making a play at becoming the next poker millionaire!

The Aussie Millions has gone from strength-to-strength since it started in 2001, and is now one of the biggest events on the poker circuit. Team PokerStars Pro Lee Nelson won in 2006, walking away with $949,694 (AUD $1,295,800) - and 2009’s winner is guaranteed to take home at least $1,200,000 (AUD $2,000,000)!

The more players that enter, the more prize packages you can win. Don’t forget that you can also buy in directly to any $530 satellite, without having to win a seat in a qualifier tournament.
