Tyron Krost has come out on top at the 2010 Aussie Millions.

An online poker player has won the 2010 Aussie Millions main event at the Crown Casino in Melbourne.

Tyron Krost bettered almost 750 other poker players to take home the A$2 million (C$1.9 million) prize after first competing in a series of online poker qualifiers.

The 23-year-old furniture salesman from Sydney expressed his delight at coming out on top ahead of some of the world's best poker players and revealed that he spent only A$700 in qualifying for the tournament.

He said: "I got some really good spots on the final table [and] when I needed a hand, I seemed to get it.

"It just hasn't sunk in at all how much money I have just won."

Krost has previously cashed at the World Series event in 2008, but this is his largest win to date.

His victory came after a heads-up clash with another online poker qualifier, Frederik Jensen, who won A$1.1 million for his efforts in the competition.

The first-ever Aussie Millions event took place in 1998 with a total prize pot of A$74,000 and a field of ten international players, most of whom were from New Zealand.
