The final table has formed in the Aussie Millions Main Event, with some familiar names in front.
Patrik Antonius is the player everyone will be watching tomorrow, and as one of the top three stacks he will be expected to repeat his friend Gus Hansen's feat in 2007 of taking down this event.
Despite being recognised as one of the best cash game players in the world, it has been a long time since Patrik last won a major event. His only major title being EPT Baden in 2005.
But the overall leader is Dan Shak, who has previously won the $100,000 Super High Roller event at the Aussie Millions and has the potential for a unique double in Australia.
Also making headlines is Jay Tan of Hong Kong, who is looking to become the first female to win the Aussie Millions Main Event.
This is what they are playing for tomorrow:

It looks like it is going to be another seven-figure year for Sam Trickett, as he has just had his third cash worth over a million dollars at the Aussie Millions, and his 5th overall.
This result takes him to second in the all time money rankings.
He took down the $250,000 Super High Roller (An event he came runner up in in 2011) for AUD $2 million after defeating Tobias 'pokernoob' Reinkemeier heads-up.
It was a good event for PokerStrategists as Igor 'lechuckpoker' Kurganov and Fabian 'fabstinho' Quoss both also cashed at the final table.
This was Kurganov's second Super High Roller cash of the festival, and his has now cashed for AUD $1.1 million this year alone.
But it looks like once again Sam Trickett is the man to beat this year, congratulations to him and everyone who made the money.
