We are delighted to announce that 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event winner Stewart Scott has joined the PartyPoker Grassroots team.<\/p>\n

The 37 year old penned the exclusive deal this week after many years playing poker at Partypoker.com and is part of our VIP club Palladium Lounge<\/a>.\u00a0 As part of the deal he will be representing Partypoker at the Aussie Millions in January 2010.<\/p>\n

Speaking of his impending ambassadorial role Stewart said, \u201cIt\u2019s great to put pen to paper and sign-up to represent PartyPoker.com – it\u2019s always been my site of choice.\u00a0 I am looking forward to defending my Aussie Millions title in January and am even more excited that I will be doing this as an ambassador for PartyPoker.com with a large team of online qualifers!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Aussie Millions champ will also be embarking on a promotional tour across Australia to build on his already hugely popular \u2018Stewart Scott Invitational\u2019 events.<\/p>\n

Poker stardom has come very quickly to the Queenslander.\u00a0 After many years spent cooking fine cuisine in some of Australia\u2019s top restaurants Stewart eventually formed an IT business and it\u2019s from there that he began his journey into the world of poker.\u00a0 His first port of call was Partypoker.com and under the name \u2018Juzlearnin\u2019 he began to make a big impression at the online poker tables until he eventually earned his place in our VIP Programme.<\/p>\n

He first came to prominence on the live circuit in 2006 by winning a satellite series at SkyCity Casino in Adelaide that awarded him a $30,000 package for the WSOP Main Event. This success and his ongoing triumphs at the online poker room<\/a> was spectacularly repeated at the 2009 Aussie Millions where Stewart became the first Australian to win the prestigious event, oh and by the way, he collected a very handy US$1,865,724 for his troubles.<\/p>\n
