A 23-year-old university student from Sydney has become a multi-millionaire literally overnight after a shock win at one of the world's biggest poker tournaments.
The Daily Telegraph reports Tyron Krost came from nowhere to knock out 746 other players and win Crown Casino's 2010 Aussie Millions Poker Championship, pocketing a cool $2 million prize.
But his biggest luck was simply competing in a tournament he very nearly decided not to enter.
After taking a year off poker to focus on his studies at UNSW, Krost entered the showdown via a satellite tournament he was dragged to by a friend after other plans fell through.
"I was looking for something else to do that night," he said.
Now after a marathon 13 hour all-night sitting, Krost stunned the poker world - and himself.
