Ante: 5,000
Of course, the final table here is being filmed for television audiences all over the world and as such we are at the mercy of the filming crew. The players have been spotted around Studio 3, doing interviews while they wait to take to the felt. The tournament director has now told them they are welcome to open their chip bags, so we expect to be kicking things off very shortly.
Mile Krstanoski will enter the final table sixth in chips out of the remaining seven players. He's confident though, as he told our reporters yesterday that he's, "Going to ship the lot!" before heading off for the night.
This final table is by far the best result of Krstanoski's career. He only has $31,880 in career tournament winnings and has already locked himself up another A$170,000 by making this final table. The best result on Krstanoski's record is a 48th-place finish in the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event for A$25,000.
Yann Dion from Quebec City, Quebec, Canada will enter the final table fifth in chips with 2.325 million. The young Canadian boasts live tournament earnings of nearly $85,000 and has cashed in five separate countries. His largest score to date outside of this one would be a ninth-place finish in the €3,200 Main Event at the Irish Open 2010 for €37,700.
Online, Dion has much more on his record. His online tournament earnings total over $1.415 million and his largest score was for over $132,000. He's had several five-figure cashes online and one six-figure score. This Aussie Millions Main Event final table is Dion's first live six-figure score, but he's chosen quite the right time to get it as first place is worth $1.6 million.
With all of the online play under his belt, Dion may be the most experienced tournament player at the final table. Whether or not he'll be able to transition his online closing efforts to live is yet to be said, but we'll soon be able to find out when the final table kicks off.
Patrick Healy from Perth, Australia will come into the final table third in chips and there's not much information out there on the guy. In fact, he only has one other result on record coming from way back in 2008 at the Joe Hachem & Shane Warne Charity Poker Tournament right here in this city. In that event, Healy took seventh place for A$2,550.
Hong Kong native Bjorn Li is the chip leader heading into this 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event final table with 4.775 million in chips. Li secured the chip lead on the last hand of the night last night when he knocked out Daniel Idema in eighth place.
Li holds over $104,000 in live tournament earnings coming from four cashes. He cashed in the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event where he placed 329th for $35,492. Li also won an event at the Macau Poker Cup in August 2011. He took down the HK$30,000 High Rollers Event for HK$477,872.
Li has over 1.3 million more chips than his closest competitor, which should help him put the pressure on his opponents early.
