Australian Poker Hall of Fame Inductee: Jonathan Karamalikis
In addition to the Young Achiever Award handed out to Alex Lynskey at the start of play, Joe Hachem was also on hand earlier to induct the latest player into the Australian Poker Hall of Fame.
"This player is the youngest inductee to the Australian Poker Hall of Fame ever," said Hachem. "He'sbeen playing poker since he was in nappies basically. He's won tournaments all across the world, both live and online."
The 2019 inductee to the Australian Poker Hall of Fame is Jonathan Karamalikis.
