The money was flowing at the 2014 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge, as a total of 39 players anted up $100,000 to take part in the tournament.

On top of that, re-entries were allowed, and some players took full advantage. Daniel Negreanu bought in to the tournament five times, while Isaac Haxton bought in six times. Here is what Daniel Negreanu had to say about it on Twitter:

"I did it! Found a way to show a profit after spending $500k in rebuys. Guaranteed $550k now ha. #AussieMillions100K 6 players left"

There were a total of 37 re-entries in the event, which helped to pump up the prize pool to nearly $7.5 million AUD.
