Starry high stakes cash game running at Aussie Millions
The Aussie Millions has gathered most of the poker elite for its extensive schedule of tournaments all the way through January, headlined by the Main Event, which is currently entering its very final stages.
Alongside the tournaments, a big high stakes cash game has now broken out, featuring some of the world's biggest stars and cash game specialists.
The cash game is played as part NLHE, part PLO, with blinds of $500/$1,000 and a minim sit-down of $100,000.
The game is part of the Aussie Millions' 2012 schedule, and will be recorded to air on TV on a later occasion.
Meanwhile, reports from the cash game have been coming from some of the involved players, and especially Daniel Negreanu has been actively updating from the action via his Twitter:
"Playing in a TV Cash game w @JasonMercier, @Samtrickett1, Gus Hansen two Asian biz men and supposedly @TonyGuoga, @Tom_Dwan coming too 500-1000," Negreanu wrote yesterday.
Gus Hansen is since reported to have left the scene, but the game is still running with some new faces today, including Daniel "jungleman12" Cates.
"Line-up: @Samtrickett, Jungleman, Antonius, @JasonMercier, two Asian gentlmen. Half PLO/NLH 500-1000 blinds. One seat open!" Negreanu tweeted one hour ago.
The Canadian Team PokerStars pro also writes that he is currently up around $160,000, while another participant, Sam Trickett, used his Twitter to reveal that he won $350,000 yesterday, making him the biggest winner of the game so far.
For those interested in more information from the $100,000 cash game, PokerAsiaPacific.com is providing live updates from the action, including rundowns of the biggest hands.

As always in high stakes a couple of donks will be up $200,000 and a couple of donks will lose $100k or $200 k, most of these cartoons have made good money in tournaments thats where they have the real money made.

I prefer to watch tournaments. I look at it like this: Tourneys are these players "work," and cash games are more for play. I'm not saying they don't take it seriously, they definitely do, but it just seems to lack the amount of strategy used in tournaments. With that said, cash games provide a way to get all of these big names onto the same table together, and makes for exiting games. I can't wait to get a glimpse of the hands between the likes of Dwan, Antonius, and Negreanu.
