Aussie Millions 2010 Recap

While Scottish tennis fans have started to hope for a Grand Slam victory and Roger Federer has managed to get to yet another Semi Final in Australian Open, the biggest poker event down under is also underway in Melbourne.

Day two of the Main Event just started and there are a few famous names still in the running for the $2,000,000 first prize. Gus Hansen has a lot of chips; Barry Greenstein, Barny Boatman and Annette Obrestad are in decent shape; and John Juanda, Howard Lederer and Ross Boatman are alive but on short stacks.
