As we gear up for this thrilling poker extravaganza, let's take a moment to reminisce about some of the most iconic moments in WSOP history. One such moment that forever changed the landscape of poker in Australia occurred in 2005 when Joe Hachem, a true legend of the game, emerged victorious in the Main Event. Hachem's triumph was nothing short of remarkable as he showcased his exceptional skills and strategic brilliance. Representing Australia, he outplayed a massive field of players, capturing the hearts of poker enthusiasts around the globe. His victory not only earned him the prestigious WSOP Main Event bracelet but also a mind-boggling $7.5 million in prize money. Hachem's accomplishment inspired a generation of poker players and forever etched his name in the annals of poker history.

Speaking of incredible performances, let's also recognise the exceptional run of Adrian Attenborough in the 2022 WSOP. Attenborough, a rising star hailing from Australia, captivated the poker world with his unrivalled talent and unwavering focus. Throughout the tournament, he demonstrated his strategic prowess and remarkable resilience. His deep runs and impressive finishes in multiple events showcased his ability to compete at the highest level. Attenborough's stellar performance not only earned him well-deserved recognition but also inspired aspiring players across Australia and beyond. We eagerly anticipate his return to the felts in the 2023 WSOP, where he's sure to leave his mark once again.
