Aussie MillionsDay 1B of the AUD $10,000+$500 Main Event started at the Crown Casino, with 202 players heading to the tables in hopes of surviving the levels and getting a spot for Day 2. That, of course, did happen, but only for 102 of them.

More well-known poker faces were seen at the tables, but only some of them managed to get their hands on the ticket for Day 2. Aussie Millions 2008 winner, Alexander Kostristsyn, Chris Ferguson, Jason Gray, Jeffery Lisandro or Tony Bloom were amongst the ones sent to the rail on this day.

However, some big names are still in the game and we will see them again on Day 2: Annette Obrestad, Ivan Demidov, Neil Channing, Jeff Madsen and Marty Smyth have managed to finish the day on the winning side.

Brett Daphne was the leader at the end of the day, having a stack of 120,250 chips. He is followed by Josh Malone, who has 112,400 chips, while Sam Vakili has 106,300 chips and is ranked third.
