The Tournament of Champions was another tournament with a twist. It was open to everyone, but former Aussie Millions Main Event champions would play rake free.
The single reentry event attracted a field of 203, resulting in a big prize pool of AUD$208,075. The top 24 of those would finish in the money.
With the added bonus of not having to pay any rake, the event saw four entries by former champions. 2011 Aussie Millions champion David Gorr, 2016 winner Ari Engel and 2015 victor Manny Stavropoulos all entered, with the latter giving it another go after busting out early.
