The Man In Charge
With just a few more eliminations to go until the money is reached, Jan Suchanek leads the way with a massive stack of 1.1 million in chips. Suchanek is no stranger to the top spot of the counts or tournament poker, as the current leader entered Day 3 in pole position and boasts over $630,000 in live tournament earnings.
Suchanek has several big results on his record, but his best finish in the Aussie Millions Main Event came back in 2007 when he took 22nd for AU$60,000.
Originally hailing from Canada, Suchanek now resides in New Zealand, which is a quick hop over from Melbourne. As the only player into seven figures right now, Suchanek is in a prime position to make an extremely deep run in this event. Last year, with a similar field size in the event, Day 3 finished with 36 players remaining and seven of them over a million in chips. The day is far from done here, and Suchanek already has more than four of them finished with on Day 3 last year.
