Melbourne Millions Poker Series Smashes Guarantees at New PlayLive Room
The Melbourne Millions poker series is taking place at the new PlayLive poker room in Melbourne, Australia. The series has attracted hundreds of players and has seen many events double or triple their guaranteed prize pools. The $1,500 Main Event had a prize pool of over $1,000,000, surpassing its $500,000 guarantee.
PlayLive is co-owned by Alex and Kristen Foxen, Jeremy Ausmus, Eric Baldwin, and Abby Merk. The new poker room was launched in April 2025, with co-founders Josh Abady and Bridges Robinson Roe. The Melbourne Millions is just the first of many tournament series planned for 2026 at PlayLive.
PlayLive has launched a live poker stream on its new YouTube channel, featuring Melbourne Millions action and cash games. The Aussie Millions poker tournament series is returning in April 2026 after a 6-year hiatus. The Aussie Millions will be held at the Crown Melbourne Plaza, just a 15-minute walk from PlayLive.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
