Record breaking Aussie Millions
Despite the online game being banned in Australia and one particular event attracting just four entries, the Aussie Millions Main Event this year is the biggest one ever.
Exactly 800 players bought in to the AUD$10,000 event, meaning 88 get paid and the first prize will be AUD$1,800,000.
It is also interesting to note that as Remko Rinkema pointed out (before the Main Event had finished accepting entries) that the Aussie Millions is a good predictor of the WSOP Main Event. Will we see a record breaker this year in Vegas too?
Let's see if the trend continues, Aussie Millions being roughly 10% of the @WSOP Main Event. pic.twitter.com/eWYIEWVloA

KidPoker booking some side bets
Just as his did with the Poker Masters, Daniel Negreanu is looking to make some side bets for the US Poker Open, which starts this week.
He is willing to bet up to $50,000 with anyone, except for Phil Hellmuth, where he has a spare $250,000 lying around:
Ok @BrynKenney and others, I’ll bet $50,000 on a must win US Poker Open Trophy ðŸ†
In the case of @phil_hellmuth you can bet up to $250,000 since I like you!
Nice Guy.
Loves the Game.
Tries Hard. @phil_hellmuth— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) January 29, 2018
