This year's Main Event made history [4] by generating the biggest player pool ever. Several of the big names have fallen during the first two days. Only 158 of the 800 participants reached Day 3. The current chip leader is Najeem Ajez of Australia's, with a stack of 522,100. Sam Grafton and Ari Engel are also in the top ten, with Sam sitting on a 419k stack while Ari on 334k. Notable players like WSOP Main Event winner, Martin Jacobson (92,200), the seasoned pro from Germany, Martin Finger (80,000) or high-roller superstar, Fedor Holz (71,100) are still in the field, hoping to add an Aussie Millions Main Event title to their name.
