Phil Ivey is one of the big names to have gone bust on Day 4

While a total of 629 players entered this year's Aussie Millions Main Event, at the time of writing that field is down to ten as the action reaches fever pitch in the Crown Melbourne.

Leading the way is America's Dan Shak with a stack of 4,100,000, and his closest challenger is the man who carries the nation's hopes for an Aussie victory - Joseph Cabret.

The Aussie's current stack of 3,300,000 puts him in a strong position, but his place at the final table isn't yet guaranteed so he'll be looking to play sensibly as he attempts to progress beyond Day 4.

Despite the likes of Joe Hachem and Jason Karamilikis having entered the event, it is Cabret who finds himself flying the Aussie flag after his compatriots hit the rail in the early stages of the event.

Whoever eventually claims the Aussie Millions Main Event crown, Cabret has done exceptionally well to make it this far in a field that included players such as Phil Ivey.
