The Aussie Millions has come to an end and the felt is being swept down at the Crown Melbourne, but there is plenty to look back on in what was an exhilarating tournament.

Obviously the most notable winner was Mervin Chan, who picked up the Main Event title and the whopping $1,600,000 first prize for his efforts.

But there was plenty else going on at the tables, with Sam Trickett taking down the $250,000 Challenge, besting a field of 18 entrants and scooping $2,000,000 in the process.

Earlier on in the tournament, Rupert Elder was the first person to win an Aussie Millions 2013 gold ring as he picked up the $250,000 first prize in the Opening Event, while Sam Vakili bagged victory in Event 2.

And there was also time for Joe Hachem's son, Anthony, to get in on the action, as he picked up $37,500 for first prize in Event 23, Turbo NLHE Cubed.

Other winners include Igor Kurganov who bagged $275,000 in the $25,000 Challenge and Micah Raskin , who won the final event of the tournament to earn a payday of $75,000.
