2009 Aussie Millions Down to 28 Players
As the 2009 Aussie Millions was beginning to wind down, 28 players remained, among them, wunderkind Annette Obrestad, who we profiled yesterday right here at Gambling911.com.
A handful of big names managed to cash out including WSOP winner Joe Hachem; and Finnish poker pro Patrik Antonius, who finished at 41st, taking home $20,000 AU.
Clonie Gowen, who has been all over the news of late for her lawsuit against Full Tilt Poker, busted in 32nd place for $30,000 AU. Scott Nguyen left with $15,000 AU after finishing in 50th place.
Along with Obrestad, there are a few big name poker players still in contention. Kelly Kim, who was among the 9 finalists at this past year's World Series of Poker, sat in the 16th spot. Sorel Mizzi, the Canadian poker pro with over $700,000 in online tournament winnings to date, came in at 20th.
The action starts again at 8:30 pm EST Friday until the final table is determined.
