The fifth time proved to be a charm for 1996 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Huck Seed who won the 2009 National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Seed took out Jonathan Little, Gus Hansen, Glen Chorny, David Oppenheim, Sam Farha and Vanessa Rousso on the way to the title. He was matched up against Rousso in the best of three final and won 2-0.

The Aussie Millions Poker Championship main event is in the books and Australian Stewart Scott is the champion.
