Re: Aussie Millions
I am booked to leave LA on 1/8 and be in Melbourne from the 10th to the 22nd. Planning on the $1650 event on the 10th, Main Event on the 14th and depending on how I fare, heads up on the 17th, Team Event on the 18th and the short handed event on the 19th. Of course, if I am skilled (or lucky) enough to go deep at the ME, the balance of the events will not be available. Hoping in between the 10th and 14th to play some nice cash games (10/20, 20/40) or the equivalent.
Who else is going and where are you staying? The fact that Matt Savage is involved is awesome. He brings such class and competence to any event he is involved in. |

Great restaurants and friendly people are the highlights for me. The tournament has a great structure and the staff works really hard to make the event great. Matt Savage |

Re: Aussie Millions
Do they allow spectators for the main event? I live near the crown but cant say I go there much.

Re: Aussie Millions
Yeah, they have rails set up for the spectators including one non tv feature table right next to the rail for people to watch.

Re: Aussie Millions
Just told my family that I'm leaving them in Sydney so I can play at least the first event. The hotel is selling out quickly.
Looks like you can buy in with a credit card. I assume this is treated like a cash advance. I'm wondering if I can have them charge more than the buy in (in an attempt to transfer a bankroll to the casino) This would be similar to wiring money- I'd just have to make the credit card payment quickly to avoid being raped with usury charges. Any thoughts? If not, what is the best way to get my USD bankroll to Melbourne? |

Re: Aussie Millions
I have finally spoken to the casino. They faxed me the bank wire instructions and opened a Crown Club Account for me. Now, each week I transfer money (to stay below the 10K) to the casino. When I arrive I show ID and the money is released to me. My bank doesn't charge me for wire transfers, though other banks charge between $20-$40 per wire. Will also take a few thousand in AUS to get started, since I arrive a couple of hours before the event I want to play in. Good luck.
Note to Matt: If Maryann will be there with you, I would love to take you guys to Nobu one night. |
