No Koalas nor kangaroos were found at the tables as the main event at the Aussie Millions kicked off yesterday at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. A series of one-outers, massive bluffs, and a model standing tall after the first flight ended yesterday. Patrik Antonius has jumped out to a commanding lead finishing the day with 315,400 chips.

Jimmy "Gobbo" Fricke of 2+2 message boards and internet fame has managed to stay alive by hitting an improbable one-outer quads to beat someone's higher flopped set and went on to finish the day fourth in chips at 139,100.
