It's not 2014 WSOP Main Event champion Martin Jacobson's first trip Down Under for the Aussie Millions, with three cashes and two final tables in the $25,000 Challenge and $100,000 Challenge on his poker resume, and the Swede is definitely having a blast on Day 2 of the Main Event.

"It's gone pretty good," said Jacobson during the first break. "I doubled up! I love it here. It's my favorite city. I've come here five times and I just love Melbourne as a city!

"The food is awesome and it's the perfect time of the year to come here with the tennis, and the fact that it's summer here and winter back home!"

We asked Jacobson what his thoughts about the venue are, and why so many people love the Aussie Millions as a festival.

"I love the Crown; this event is just such a great tournament. It's great that [the Main Event] keeps growing. There have been solid numbers over the last couple of years.

"It's a little bit bigger this year; without any online satellites! If they would partner up with a poker site it could get way, way bigger."
