Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

“Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, buddy!” laughs a fist-pumping Joe Hachem. It's a line still familiar to poker fans everywhere.

More than 20 years have passed since the man from Down Under earned his place among poker's immortal few by winning the 2005 WSOP Main Event, yet memories of that electric night at Binion’s remain as vivid as ever.

Hachem's was a victory that helped define a golden era. Riding the shockwaves of the Chris Moneymaker-inspired Poker Boom, another charismatic, relatable world champion had emerged — the first, and still only, Australian to win the game's greatest prize.
