Welcome to the 2010 Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event!

In the words of the late and great Australian actor Heath Ledger, "Here ... we ... go!"

Until 2009, the Australians weren't able to keep the championship title on home soil. 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem put the call out to the locals to "Get their acts together."

Stewart Scott was the man who answered the call, taking down the title and a record $2 million AUD in prize money. Now it's up to the rest of the Aussies to peg another one back this year.
