"Thank you very much to Joe and the other Hall of Famers to my right," said Levy. "I appreciate the recognition; as Joe says I've been around for a little while now. I started playing 12 years ago and I worked out that this is my 12th consecutive Aussie Millions.

"I'm very proud of my longevity in the game. The game is getting harder and harder, and having been around for this amount of time is something I'm proud of. I want to congratulate the Crown for such a wonderful tournament they run year in year out. 800 players is a fantastic achievement and I hope that the Aussie Millions continues to grow and grow.

"I'd like to thank my wife Sharon. When I started playing my kids were young; three years old and six months old. They're now 13, 10 and 7 years old! I had to travel a lot doing this, and being away a lot is hard work for Sharon and the kids. So I want to thank them for allowing me to do what I do. Thank you very much."
