The CakePoker.com competition is due to run until the 19th December and will host six daily chances to win your way through to the finals held at the end of each month and where the grand finalist will get a $14,000 prize pool and a seat in the Aussie Millions main event. 

Alternatively you can buy-in to the finals of the competition for $374 and try to win the seat at the main event down under in the New Year. Along with entry into the tournament, the lucky winner will also receive a cheque for $1,500 spending money and travelling expenses. 

The Aussie Millions Poker Tournament has been running now for nine years and become one of the world’s most exciting events.
