Krost's Back For Another Go
Australia's Tyron Krost surprised the entire poker world when he took down the Aussie Millions Main Event in 2010 for AU$2 million. Today, Krost is back for another title chase, as he's taken his seat on Day 1b of the Main Event.
Back in 2012, Krost won the Aussie Millions Tournament of Champions, for which he received a "Golden Ticket" that awarded him a $10,000 Aussie Millions seat for the rest of his life. That's right, Krost will forever be on a freeroll in this event.
Krost's lifetime freeroll has not paid dividends yet, but with a few more decades to give it a try, he'll likely make another deep run in this event at some point.
When Krost won the Aussie Millions Main Event, he beat one of the toughest final tables in its history, as this was the payout of that final table.
