It's widely considered as one of the most popular poker festivals out there, but after a long absence, it looks like the Aussie Millions might be making a comeback.
As reported by the Poker Pulse Podcast, hosted by Australian Poker Schedule founder Craig Abernethy, the event is set to make its return to Crown Melbourne in April 2025.
While there has been no official announcement, the much-loved event would be a welcome return to the live poker calendar for 2025.
"No Longer a Rumor"
The news was broken on the podcast by Troy Mclean, who said that the April date was "confirmed"."I had heard on the grapevine that it would be returning next year," said Mclean. "But it's been confirmed now. It's very exciting stuff. After APO [Australian Poker Open] I've heard. There was a rumour that it might not be a A$10,000 Main, it might be an A$8,000 Main, but that's a rumour at the moment."
"You seem to know a lot more than others," said fellow podcast co-host Catherine Young. "You've dropped it first, so I'll trust your word right now."
"I hope it's a $10k but last week [...] that it could possibly by an A$8k," said Mclean.
The event was known for attracting a large field combined of international poker players keen on taking part in the iconic poker festival, and Australian satellite winners who were taking their shot at the big one. Mclean says that plans to offer satellites are underway.
"They are starting to run satellites I have heard," he said. "In the next month they're going to run 6-7 seats a week so trying to build the numbers back up."
