partypoker is going to send some of their best players to compete in the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event in Melbourne where the 1st place winner is going to be taking home at least AUS $2 million. If you want in on the action there are many ways you can win your way to Melbourne.
partypoker Australia Ambassador Stewart Scott is the defending champion and commented:
“I’ve been playing at PartyPoker.com for five years. These great packages are an amazing opportunity for other players to play in this huge tournament. Claiming the Aussie Millions title has been the highlight of my career and I’d love to see another PartyPoker.com player take the title.”
25 Aussie Millions Prize Packages
You can win one of partypoker’s 25 luxury Aussie Millions Main Event packages by playing in one of two $600+$40 Aussie Millions Qualifiers on Sunday, December 13th.
The 1st satellite is for players in Australia and New Zealand and will award five prize packages worth $12,000 dollars each.
The second satellite is open to players from all over the world and will award twenty prize packages worth $15,000 each. There are also less expensive satellites you can compete in that award a seat into these satellites if the $640 buyin is too steep.
Aussie Millions Satellite Tournaments
There are also other ways you can win a Aussie Millions Main Event prize package. You can use your PartyPoints, choose to participate in freerolls or play at small satellites with buy-ins starting at $1 to make your way into a tournament that awards seats to the main event. If you are from Australia or New Zealand you can also opt to play in special Stewart Scott Bounty Hunt Tournaments.
As of November 1st you can play against the defending champ Stewart Scott in the $64+$6 buyin Aussie Millions ANZ Satellite Qualifiers at 4:05ET every Tuesday and Thursday. The player that knocks out Stewart Scott will win his $70 dollar bounty. Keep in mind that this opportunity is meant for Australian and New Zealand players only. While there has been mentioned that anyone can participate and win one of the Aussie Millions prize packages this way we have no official statement by partypoker. We also want to emphasise that the packages won this way have a value of $12,000 unlike the Aussie Millions Main Event prize packages for the rest of the world that are valued at $15,000 – mostly due to the higher travel expenses.
You can win more then just $70 dollars in one of these tournaments, you can also win a seat to one of the Aussie Millions Qualifiers. First place will get a seat at the $640 dollar qualifier, second place takes a seat at the $128 dollar qualifier and third will win a $70 dollar qualifier seat.
You don’t have to necessarily leave home empty handed if you’re not one of the top 3 players there are also cash prizes awarded and of course the $70 bounty on Stewart Scott.
Those with a larger bankroll can also play in the Stewart Scott Highroller Aussie Millions Invitational on Sunday, November 22nd at 3:05ET for a $250+$20 buyin. The First place winner will be awarded a Aussie Millions prize package. If you finish second you will be awarded your $640 ticket for the Aussie Millions Final.
The qualification method for the rest of the world is via various satellites. If you do not wish to spend any money and still qualify for the Aussie Millions, you may choose to play in the daily freerolls or use your PartyPoints as buy-in for the first level satellites. Or you may want to play in the low buy-in satellites starting as low as $1. You actually have a lot of different options as to which satellite you prefer and depending on your bankroll you may want to participate in the more expensive satellites (additionally to the afore mentioned freerolls you have the option of $1, $8, $30, $70 or $140 buy-ins) in order to avoid having to play all those crazy people you will find at low buy-in satellites.
All these satellites take part on a daily basis. Alternatively you may of course choose a direct buy-in to the big Aussie Millions Final on December 13th. The choice is yours. Just make sure you don’t let this chance go by without at least giving it a shot. Honestly, with these low buy-ins and the option to qualify via freerolls you simply can’t go wrong.
