It may not be exactly what Faraz Jaka who hoping for but Faraz Jaka is on the right path to start the 2012 poker season.

Twice now Jaka has been in great position to pickup tournament wins - twice Jaka has come short but, it's still two significant scores to start the year.

After collecting a Top 5 finish in the Main Event at the PCA in the Bahamas two weeks ago, Jaka (2011 PTPR Rank: 2090th) was runner-up to Jean-Paul Helderman in the NLH Six-Max side event here at the Aussie Millions - picking up close to 80K with the second place finish.

For Helderman (2011 PTPR Rank: NR), this marks his first live tournament score of his poker career.

Tam Truong (2011 PTPR Rank: NR), former EPT Copenhagen Champ Anton Wigg (2011 PTPR Rank: 1430th), Daniel Laidlaw (2011 PTPR Rank: 2087th) and Jarred Solomon (2011 PTPR Rank: 259th) are other notables who collected PTPR Points in the event.

1st Jean-Paul Helderman A$110,600
2nd Faraz Jaka A$77,000
3rd Tam Truong A$55,600
4th Anton Wigg A$38,500
