Stewart Scott ended up winning the Aussie Millions in Melbourne and became the first Australian to win the poker tournament.

For those of you that are not Australian… Australians are known to shout Aussie, Aussie, Aussie as a war cry at sports events or just in general support at any event really.

So… here goes… Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! to Stewart Scott for winning the tourny and collecting AUD $ 2 Million for his effort.

The final table of eight players ground it out on the final day for 12 hours.  681 poker players of all shapes and sizes started the competition and eventually it came down to Peter Rho and Scott in the final pairing.

You can only admire him and congratulate him having the stamina to beat all those strong competitors – Well done Stewart Scott!

For a long time the pressure has been on Joe Hachem to win the tourny for Australia, but now it has been done… a fellow countryman has stood up and beaten off the opposition from all over the world.

All the poker players only had good things to say about how the poker tournament was organised and run.  The Crown Plaza, Melbourne is definitely a must to check out and visit.
