Congratulations to Jarred Solomon, Champion of Event #5! (AU$30,380)

We've seen some epic heads up matches so far at the 2009 Aussie Millions Poker Championships. Van Marcus and Jarred Solomon did not disappoint, trading the chip lead back and forth numerous times across an hour and forty-five minutes before Solomon was finally able to take down the tournament.

It wasn't easy for Solomon; he was one card away from being eliminated by Marcus during the Omaha Hi/Lo round about forty-five minutes into heads up play. He survived with a chop, and from there seemed to play with renewed poise and confidence.

For his efforts in today's H.O.R.S.E. tournament, Solomon will take home $30,380 and a 2009 Aussie Millions gold ring. It is a well-earned, well-deserved accomplishment, for which we offer him our most heartfelt congratulations.

That wraps up coverage of Event #5, but play is still going strong in Event #6 - AU$1,100 No-Limit Hold'em with Rebuys. Feel free to follow along. I'm hitting the bar.
