2012 AUSSIE: DION LEADS THE FINAL 12

Another fairly quick day will be followed by what should be - you guessed it - another fairly quick day at the Aussie Millions Main Event.

The final 26 players came back on Friday in order to play down to the final 12. These 12 players will all gather at the Crown Casino on Saturday and play down to our final table.

Canadian Yann Dion has captured the lead at the Main Event. He is followed closely by Bjorn Li. Dion's Canadian team mate, Daniel Idema, held the chip lead for part of the day - he now finds himself fifth in chips.

Phil Ivey is still alive but will need to get things going early on Friday - Ivey has the shortest chip stack as Saturday looms.

Matt Turk and Tim O'Shea - who each held the chip leads during the two previous days of play - were both eliminated on Friday.
