1. JOE HACHEM $8,067,052

Prior to his main event win in 2005, his biggest cash was $3,000 in a PLO event in Australia. Has proved his doubters wrong with a 2nd and 4th place finish since.

2. MEL JUDAH $2,821,686

Arguably the most successful player from Australia. His 18-year winning record includes WSOP bracelets, a WPT title and a 2nd place in the 1997 main event.

3. TONY G $1,587,449

A highly aggressive player, Antanas Guoga is as feared for his vicious trash talking as for his poker skills. Luckily for him, his results back up the banter.

4. MARK VOS $1,049,372

The outspoken (is there any other kind?) Aussie’s profile rocketed this summer when he won a WSOP bracelet in the $2,000 NLH event.

5. EMAD TAHTOUH $706,349

You’ve probably never heard of the man they call Boondy, but inside two years of pro play, he’s made final tables at the both the WSOP and EPT.
