Aussie Poker in 2006

Aussie poker players are re-defining the art of what it means to be a poker player. Poker fever has swept the Australian nation and it's determined to stay. Aussie Poker is epitomized in the January 2006 Australian Poker Tournament at the Crown Casino in Melbourne.

The Aussie Poker Millions at the Crown is the WSOP of the southern hemisphere. Poker professionals from dozens of countries will compete in this first poker tournament of the year.

From Aussie poker sites to Australian land-based casinos, poker has become a national sport. Last year, an Aussie poker player won the prestigious World Series of Poker, letting the world known that Australian players are a force to beat. This year, the world will watch, courtesy of Fox Sports, when Aussie Poker is broadcast internationally.
