Poker
Players Face Elimination Tension
As reported by the Australian
Associated Press: "Thirty-six of the world's
top poker players will try to conceal their
nervous tension as the countdown to the final
of the Aussie Millions poker championship begins.
"Day
four of the tournament at Melbourne's Crown
Casino sees more than $660,000 separating the
lowest trailing contestant from US chip leader
Kenna James, who resumed play with $700,500.
"The
players are competing for a share of more than
$US4 million ($A5.32 million) in the main event
prize pool and the $US1 million ($A1.33 million)
championship title.
"More
than half of the remaining field are Australians,
minus reigning homegrown poker champion Joe
Hachem, who bowed out on Tuesday, despite winning
the $US10 million ($A13.31 million) top prize
at the world series of poker championships in
Las Vegas last year..."
