The Field

Last year's Aussie Millions PokerPro event, won by American Adam Weiss, attracted just 31 runners. This year, participation has increased by over 200%, as 97 of the 100 available seats in the room were sold.

Not only has the size of the field increased from last year, but the quality of the field has as well. Have a look at some of these names: 2005 WSOP Main Event Winner Joe Hachem, Team Full Tilt Pros Andy Bloch, Clonie Gowen and Gavin Smith, the Unabomber Phil Laak, local pros Grant Levy, Dennis Huntly and James Potter, and actors turned poker players Shannon Elizabeth, Jennifer Tilly and Michael Vartan.

"I thought there were going to be a bunch of ********'s in this event," said one of the runners. "Now look at it!" Indeed, whoever wins this event will definitely have earned it.
