The SnG Decathlon is proving to be a very popular promo at bwin Poker, and it's no wonder, as $50,000 in prizes are up for grabs, including a $10,000 prize package for the winner to play in a major live poker event. Based on the current leaderboard, it looks like the action is going to go right down to the wire, with only a few points separating the players at the top trying to win that huge prize for the top finisher.

With bwin Team member Wieringen winning nearly €30,000 at the recent Rigged in Riga event, the SnG Decathlon winner will have a shot to turn their entry to a live event into potentially much, much more, especially if they decide to go with the bwin Team to the 2010 Aussie Millions. And even if they don't come back home with millions, they'll have the trip of a lifetime to remember, as Team members who have been to the WSOP, APT,  and WPT events will attest to.
