Aussie Wins Record WSOP Main Event

A record 5619 players participated in this year's No Limit Texas Hold 'Em final at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. The huge turnout means a huge payday for winner Joseph Hachem, who earned $7.5 million for his efforts. The Australian pro poker player beat Steve Dannenmann with a straight on the final hand of the tournament to win the crown and the cash. With his second place finish, Dannenmann, a Maryland businessman, walks home with a whopping $4.5 million. In fact, all nine finalists earned better than $1 million, making the $10,000 buy-in seem like chump change.

Click here to see the list of players who finished in the money.

I play at Poker Room because it has sweet graphics and supports Macs. Also, it doesn't require any downloads, which is nice.
