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.
