Today at the Aussie Millions

Will Shillibier

Welcome back to today's coverage of the 2020 Aussie Millions from the Crown Casino in Melbourne. Three days in and the festival will see its first champion crowned today, in what will be the biggest day of the festival so far.

Eight players remain in the H.O.R.S.E., with two flights of the Opening Event scheduled to take place.

Here's the plan for the day:

Day	Event	Time	Buy-in
6th January	Opening Event Flight 3	12:10pm	A$1,150
	H.O.R.S.E.	1:00pm	Final Day
	Opening Event Flight 4	6:10pm	A$1,150

Suchanek Leads Aussie Millions Event #2: $2,500 H.O.R.S.E. Final Table

Jan Suchanek will be looking to win his first Aussie Millions ring for eight years when the final table of the H.O.R.S.E. gets underway at 1 pm, with the New Zealander sitting pretty at the top of the chip counts.

However, he won't have it all his own way with former Aussie Millions Main Event winner Ari Engel sitting in second place. Also featuring is 2017 H.O.R.S.E. runner-up Rainer Quel and a whole host of other notable players from Australia and around the world.

Seat	Player	Country	Chip Count
1	Julien Sitbon	France	81,200
2	Rainer Quel	Australia	72,500

The remaining eight players are not yet in the money, with only the top six guaranteed a payout of A$6,615.

Flights 3 and 4 of the Opening Event Take Place Today

Two more flights of the $1,000,000 guaranteed Opening Event take place today, with players no doubt hoping to join the 66 who have guaranteed their place in Day 2.

A stack over 100,000 will do you good, but you will have to top 200,000 to replace Zack Lowrie at the top of the chip counts.
