Poker tournaments are popping up all over the place, and now they are heading to Australia. Apparently, the tournament will be held next year at the Crown Casino in Melbourne. The event will feature a $10 million buy-in along, and will offer an $80 first prize.
Those who can’t make it to Australia will be able to enjoy watching it all unfold on television. The poker event will make its way across the globe with Fox Sports Network. Each will get a chance to watch this whole fun unravel before their eyes.
Australians are hoping that Melbourne-born poker champ; Joe Hachem will pull out a win this next year. Hachem won $10 million in Las Vegas in an event earlier this year. At this tournament he will be facing six pros, such as Phil Ivey.
The chief operating officer at Crown Casino, Richard Longhurst is thrilled the tournament is coming to this town, and his casino. Everyone is pleased it coming here, and ready for it already. However, everyone will have to wait until after this upcoming year for that tournament. |
