Australian wins World Series of Poker
FOXSports.com - More Sports- Australian wins World Series of Poker: "LAS VEGAS (AP) - Australian Joseph Hachem prevailed in a colossal duel Saturday at the World Series of Poker's main event, winning $7.5 million and snatching the game's greatest crown in the longest final table in the tournament's history.
Only six hands into the two-man battle at the end, Hachem eliminated Steven Dannenmann of Severn, Md., when he flopped a seven-high straight.
When it was clear Hachem had won, his fans in the room erupted into "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!" Hachem immediately embraced Dannenmann, wrapped himself in an Australian flag and shouted: "Thank you, America."
Congratulations Joe! A very cool win. I bet he's glad he took up Poker fulltime three years ago. And his wife supports him too! C'mon Aussie!
