We're back to Australia for continuing coverage of the Aussie Millions - and we've got a doozy of a final table about to begin in the 1K NLH Rebuy event.

2011 PTPR Top Scorer (earned the most PTPR Scores with nine) Marvin Rettenmaier leads the charge in the prelim event. Mad Marvin (2011 PTPR Rank: 21st) enters final table play with 113K in chips. Rettenmaier will look to put a disappointing showing at WPT Ireland behind him and pickup his first win of 2012 later today.

Canadian poker pro SirWatts, Mike Watson, holds onto second place by a small margin. Watts (2011 PTPR Rank: 25th) will count on his tournament experience to guide him to a tournament victory.

Entering the final day in third place, Jonathan Karamalikis will certainly be looking to play the role of hometown hero. The Aussie legend known to most as xMONSTERxDONGx (2011 PTPR Rank: 2358th) will certainly have a lot of people pulling for him.

In fourth place is Michael Pedley (2011 PTPR Rank: NR). Pedley won a 1K prelim here at the Aussie Millions back in 2008 ... Jim Collopy (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) was second to Gus Hansen at the 2010 WSOP Europe Heads Up Championship.

Master Classics prelim winner Michael Benvenuti (2011 PTPR Rank: 466th) and WSOP bracelet winner Dan djk123 Kelly (2011 PTPR Rank: 540th) - who has already scooped a title here earlier this week - are two American players hoping to take this one down.
