THE CHAMPS ARE HERE 🔥
The $2,500 H.O.R.S.E. has just welcomed a double dose of star power, with WSOP Main Event champions Joe Hachem and Michael Mizrachi joining the action as the field climbed to 47 entries by the first break.
Hachem, the 2005 WSOP Main Event champion, was already in the spotlight earlier this week after appearing in Thursday’s Aussie Millions Celebrity Challenge for Charity, won by Andrew Bassat.
He told PokerNews that capturing the Aussie Millions Main Event is the one title still missing from his résumé, and he’s getting into the swing of things with some mixed-game action before turning his focus to the festival’s showpiece.
Meanwhile, defending WSOP Main Event champion Mizrachi only touched down in Melbourne this morning but wasted no time heading straight to the tables. The pair shared a smile when they crossed paths on the tournament floor.
