After a speech from both Jack Effel and Ty Stewart about the evolution of the WSOP since moving to Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and it's new adventures such as the upcoming WSOP Asia-Pacific, the microphone was turned over to the first winner from the Rio - the 2005 WSOP Champion Joe Hachem.
"You better believe it!" started Hachem as he reflected on becoming the first Australian WSOP Champion.
"To me personally, its been an honor and privilege to be WSOP Champion." added Hachem.
"Play your game, enjoy your game and I hope i see you at the final table. Good luck and shuffle up and deal!" and with that, Hachem put the cards in the air for Day 1a of the 2014 WSOP Main Event.
