The 2010 Aussies Millions Champion

The prestigious Aussie Millions Poker Tournament is one of the most anticipated events on poker calendar. This year's event had all the elements of a grand do, with swag, panache and an A-list of poker stars and celebrities to boot.

The Aussie Millions Poker Championship
The Aussie Millions comprises a series of poker tournaments which are held at the Crown Casino, in Melbourne, Australia. Online casino giant 888.com is at the forefront of the Aussie Millions tournament with their very own Team 888Poker - spearheaded by cricket legend and team captain Shane Warne.

But it's the Main Event of the series that has pundits the world over fixated. Because this is the Southern Hemisphere's richest poker tournament and the prize pool exceeds AU$7 million.

Enter Tyron Krost
He might as well have been named Mike Tyson, because Tyron Krost landed knockout blows to win the 2010 Aussie Millions championship. The 23-year old Krost wowed the crowds with sensational game plays.

He competed alongside a tally of 746 players to reach the final faceoff. Prior to the 2010 event, Tyron Krost pocketed $35,383 at the 2008 WSOP Main Event with him being placed 249th.

It took Krost until 4am to deliver the knockout blow, but once he claimed the chip lead when four-handed, he never looked back. And now he's clearly the King of Poker down under.
