Aussie
Millions Winner Signs With PartyPoker - 6th October
2009
Stewart
Scott, who made history earlier this year by winning
the Aussie Millions — the first time an
Australian has done so in the modern era —
has signed a deal to represent PartyPoker.com,
the company recently announced.
A
former gourmet chef turned professional poker
player, the 37-year-old Scott perfectly captures
the spirit of the casual-turned-professional poker
player. He’s making his Party Poker debut
at the PokerNews Cup in Melbourne, which recently
got underway.
"It's
great to put pen to paper and sign-up to represent
PartyPoker.com
-
it’s always been my site of choice,"
said Scott in a news release.
"I am looking forward to defending my Aussie
Millions title in January and am even more excited
that I will be doing this as an ambassador for
PartyPoker
with a large team of online qualifiers!"

Millions
The
Australian Poker Championship, commonly known
as Aussie Millions is a poker tournament held
at the Crown Casino, in Melbourne, Australia.
It is the Southern Hemisphere's richest poker
tournament with a prize pool in excess of AU$7
Million.
Poker
at Crown was introduced in June 1997, with the
first major championship held shortly after in
July 1998. The Main Event was a AU$1,000 buy in
Limit Holdem tournament that attracted 74 entries
with a AU$74,000 prize pool.
The
Crown Australian Poker Championship, or the ‘Aussie
Millions’ as it became known, moved to January
in 2001, attracting 40 entrants with a AU$5,000
buy in for a prize pool of AU$200,000. January
2003 saw the event go international, attracting
a field of 122 entrants and a AUD$1,200,000 prize
pool.
In
January 2005, the Aussie Millions continued to
grow with 263 participants paying AU$10,000 each
to enter the No Limit Holdem Main Event, generating
the biggest prize pool ever in the Southern Hemisphere
of AU$2,630,000. Over half the field was from
overseas including players from New Zealand, England,
Ireland, Norway, Denmark, USA, Sweden, Holland,
Canada, Italy and Lebanon.
In
2006, 418 players competed for a share of the
AU$4,180,000 prize pool, including some of the
biggest names in the Poker world such as WSOP
Champion Joe Hachem, along with Phil Ivey, John
Juanda and Daniel Negreanu.
The
2007 championship commenced on Sunday 14th January,
2007 with the final table held on Friday 19th
January, 2007. The buy-in was AU$10,500 (AU$10,000+AU$500).
A record 747 players entered, which generated
a prize pool of AU$7,470,000. The top 80 players
were "in the money" and received between
AU$15,000 and AU$1,500,000 each.
The
2008 championship concluded on Sunday 20th January,
2008 with the winner being the 21 year old Russian
Alexander Kostritsyn. The buy-in was AU$10,500
(AU$10,000+AU$500). A record 780 players entered,
which generated a prize pool of AU$7,800,000.
The top 80 players were "in the money"
and received between AU$15,000 and AU$1,650,000
each. (Credit:
