The man known as "The Croc", Billy Argyros is one of Australia's all-time greats. This Australian Poker Hall of Famer has a tournament history dating back to 1989, but has been in a rich vein of form in more recent times. Just last September, Argyros claimed victory at the APPT in Melbourne, and since then has followed up with final tables at major championships in Macau and Noumea. Those results boosted Crocky's career earnings to over US$1.3 million.

Argyros has results all over the world but his biggest pay day came at the 2008 World Series of Poker where he finished 4th in the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha championship for a collect of US$268,605.

Away from poker, Argyros says he enjoys golf, backgammon and eating, and he'd love nothing more than to become the first person in history to win two APPT titles.
