When it comes to poker in Australia, one name immediately jumps out — Joe Hachem. However, years before the Aussie won the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event, the "Land Down Under" had a clandestine poker scene that included David Gorr.
Due in large part to tax implications, Gorr hasn't played in the WSOP since 1997. That all changed this year when he decided to give the WSOP Main Event a go once again. Gorr may not be familiar to those stateside, but he is a poker legend in Australia.
In 2011, Gorr defeated a 721-player field to capture the prestigious Aussie Millions Main Event title and a AUD$2,000,000 first-place prize. On his way to victory, Gorr beat out a stacked final table that included Patrik Antonius, Chris Moorman, and Randy Dorfman. Then, in a marathon heads-up match, Gorr defeated young James Keys to prove that youth doesn’t always prevail over experience and perseverance.
Gorr may not have been familiar to the poker masses before his big win, but he was a local legend in Melbourne, having played at Crown Casino for many years and hailing from the same home game as Australian Poker Hall of Famers Leo Boxell, Mel Judah, and Billy “The Croc” Argyros. Gorr would be inducted into the Australian Poker Hall of Fame in 2012.
Gorr is down a bit from what he started the day with, but he's hanging in there against a tough table that includes chip leader Martin Jacobson. Rest assured we'll be keeping an eye on the wily veteran to see how his return to the WSOP goes.
