It looks like the Australians will get a chance to show Americans how the game of poker is played. Their very own Joe Hachem got the lesson started when he became the first Aussie to win the World Series of Poker this year, along with its record breaking $7.5 Million prize, amid chants of “Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oy! Oy! Oy!”
Now a Down Under poker show will be broadcast to US televisions on Fox. Melbourne's Crown Casino poker tournament, in a deal with Fox Sports Net, will give Americans the chance to see the game played on the other side of the world. The 2006 Aussie Millions be filmed at Crown from January 15 to 19. The show will be aired as a 10 part series, to debut at 11pm local US time in March.
The annual Aussie Millions has a purse of $5 million, and the 2006 Aussie Millions champion will pocket $1 million USD.
