Michael Chrisanthopoulos is well known to Australian poker fans after he became the highest finishing Australian in last year's Aussie Millions Main Event. That day, Chrisanthopoulos netted a healthy AU$700,000 for his 3rd place finish and he will be looking for another big performance at this year's series.
He's off to a fine start today after being fortunate enough to spike a set holding pocket kings to crack the pocket aces of an unlucky opponent. Chrisanthopoulos is up to 14,500 to be amongst our chip leaders.
