Welcome to the PokerNews coverage of the $50,000 Challenge High Roller from the 2020 Aussie Millions, here at Crown Casino in Melbourne.

This is the third of four five- and six-figure buy-in High Roller Challenges that PokerNews will be reporting on, and the excitement levels are building ahead of this one.

Last year, it was 2018 Main Event winner Toby Lewis who defeated Manig Loeser heads-up to top a 62-player field. He took home A$818,054 after a heads-up deal.

Lewis will no doubt be back in the field, fresh off the back of his third Aussie Millions title in three years after winning the Shot Clock Six Max earlier this week for A$148,030.

Former Winners

Year	Winner	Country	First Prize (AUD)	Entries	Total Prize Pool
2017	Mikita Badziakouski	Belarus	A$176,400	6	A$294,000
2018	Sam Greenwood	Canada	A$116,400	4	A$194,000
2019	Toby Lewis	United Kingdom	A$818,054	62	A$3,007,000

In a change to the previously published structure, today there will be eight sixty-minute levels played, starting from 2:30 p.m. Players will each receive 50,000 in chips, and will have to contend with a 30-second shot clock.

Late registration and re-entries are available until the end of Level 7.
