Default What\'s wrong with this picture?

So I'm watching the 2006 Aussie Millions, and they put up the following graphic (with voiceover that matches):

Started with 418 players

$10,000 buyin

Over $3,000,000 in prize pool

Could be something like the $10,000 is AUD, but then the 3 million quoted is USD.

FSN, not sure when but it usually repeats once or twice a week.

They seemed to skip the entire first day of the tournament. It debuted on FSN last Saturday (7/1).

It was $10,000 + 500 AUD, making it just over $3m USD.

In Florida, new episodes air Satruday nights at 11 p.m. on FSN. As noted previously, it is weird that they skipped the first episode.

New episodes are on FSN West Sat 11 pm. I also caught a rerun of an older one on Friday, I'm sure they are repeated multiple times.
