The action continues at the 2018 Aussie Millions, even Tom "durrrr" Dwan showed up

Many events have already finished in Crown Casino, with some of the biggest names falling and rising in the competition. High-stakes superstars Tom Dwan pay a visit too.

The third event of the festival was the A$1,150 No Limit Hold'em - Shot Clock Shootout. The event attracted 192 players and this time it was Australian Jason Brown, who got the best of it as he took down the tournament for A$49,200($39,398) after beating Thomas Mühlöcker of Austria, who won the very same event last year.

As Pot Limit Omaha is getting more and more popular it was no surprise to see a healthy field of 284 at A$1,150 PLO event. It looks like the Aussies do pretty good for themselves at their home festival. Local Andrew Locke managed to win the event for the first prize of A$69,140($55,248).

Event #5 A$1,150 NLHE - Mix Max has a unique structure, where the players start 9-handed, later play at 6-handed tables and finish the tournament in heads-up format.

He earned A$72,155($57,658) by outlasting 284 of his peers.

With its 4 entries, the A$50,000 Challenge was a huge disappointment for the organizers. Jan Schwippert was one of the four players to enter the tournament, and he repeated his performance as he got second for A$77,600($62,958) losing to Canada's Sam Greenwood, who cashed for A$116,400($94,437) by winning the less massive event.

Another high-stakes baller, Phil Ivey made headlines a few weeks back, after a fellow poker pro posted a picture of Phil on his way to Australia. Everyone thought Phil was going to jump back to the tournament business, but it looks like he had other things in mind as he didn't attend any of the events.
