Just one month to go until Australias largest poker series of the year, the 2025 APL Million at Southport Sharks on the Gold Coast.

The 2024 APL Million was the biggest series of the year, with 83 events building a total prize pool of over $13M. This year, with 91 events, we expect that record to be smashed again with $7M guaranteed before a card is even dealt.

The Australian Poker Schedule will be looking back at last years events and highlighting many on this years schedule, providing detailed analysis using our structure calculator, late registration times, and other valuable info to prepare you for the series.

Once again, the APL is fully funding the $๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ,๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ across three tiers, adding value and rewarding the Top 5 players in 3 tiers. Be sure to check out the details for this great opportunity to top off a good series with a nice bonus.

In conjunction with the APL Million, and back by popular demand, the Australian Poker Schedule is running ๐—š๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜†. Last year, 20 teams drafted their Fantasy lineup at a Live Player Draft Auction the day before the series and followed their teamโ€™s progress. This year, the points system and qualifying events have been updated to include Ladies, Seniors, and Young Guns, with multipliers for event tiers and a huge bonus for the APL Million Main Event.

PokerGO's Natalie Bode managed to catch up with Occy and ask him about his experience and journey so far. What a champ, and we wish him all the best in what is still a long grind ahead!

With the unfortunate Day 6 bust outs of Aussies Alex Lynskey (186th - US$60,000), confirmed Aussie Heather Hardie (165th - US$60,000) and Rahul Rastogi (101st - US$70,000) all of our attention turns to well known and loved Brisbane OG Octavian Voegele. (who now correctly has an Aussie flag next to his name instead of Austria)

PokerNews recently reported a hand history (linked below) that would have excited the entire Aussie poker community. 

With less than 100 players remaining, Occy has surged to 12,500,000 chips just before the dinner break, good for 100bb, average is 6,200,000 chips, and a Top Ten stack in the WSOP World Championship with US$10,000,000 first prize.

Theres a long way to go, its only day six, but very exciting times where the only certainty is that every Aussie poker players will be glued to the Live Reporting and PokerGO streams waiting for updates, and Aussie players still in Las Vegas will be on his live rail.

As a team owner you get to draft a team of superheroes at a live auctio. Unlike other fantasy competions (eg. AFL Fantasy, NRL Supercoach), a player can only be on one team and they go to the highest bidder. Each team has a salary cap of $125 to bid for 5 players to fill up thier team. Each team takes turns to nominate a player and bid on them and sold to the highest bidding team, they are then locked in, they earn your team points. The team with the most points over the series is the winner!

The 2025 World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event started with a massive field of 9,735 players, and only one will be crowned this yearโ€™s world champion.

More than 70 Aussies entered this years WSOP Main Event. Most of them made it through to Day 2, and 20 managed to reach the money. After five grueling ten-hour days (with five two-hour blind levels per day), we can now report that FOUR** Australians are still in the hunt for the WSOP Gold Bracelet and the US$10,000,000 first prize.

Of the 522 players who returned on Day 5, each guaranteed at least $32,500, only 202 remained by the end of Level 24. Those still in contention have now locked up a minimum payout of $60,000. With every level, the pressure mounts and the pay jumps become even more meaningful.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Joe Hachems legendary 2005 WSOP Main Event victory, where he became the only Australian to ever win the title. In 2022, Adrian Attenborough came heartbreakingly close, finishing runner-up to Espen Jorstad, while in 2018, Alex Lynskey reached the final table and placed seventh for $1.5 million.

Lynskey is back again with yet another deep run, further cementing his place as one of Australiaโ€™s best players for more than a decade. Also still in the mix is Octavian Occy Vogele, a veteran of the Aussie poker scene with an ANZPT Main Event title from 2011. Joining them is Melbourneโ€™s Rahul Rastogi, whose biggest career result was finishing third behind Lynskey in the 2018 WSOPC Main Event in Sydney.

**Heather Hardie also remains in contention. While we arenโ€™t familiar with her personally (feel free to reach out if you know more), for now, weโ€™re listing her as Australian based on the flag shown on PokerNews and her Hendon Mob profile. That said, thereโ€™s a possibility she may actually be American, as her only Australian cash came in Melbourne back in 2007. Hendon Mob often defaults the country flag to where a player records their first cash, so her current listing may be misleading. Most of her cashes are from the USA, and her residence is listed as Las Vegas.

The 2025 World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event started with a massive field of 9,735 players, and only one will be crowned this yearโ€™s world champion.

More than 70 Aussies entered this year's WSOP Main Event. Most of them made it through to Day 2, and 20 managed to reach the money. After five grueling ten-hour days (with five two-hour blind levels per day), we can now report that FOUR** Australians are still in the hunt for the WSOP Gold Bracelet and the US$10,000,000 first prize.

Of the 522 players who returned on Day 5, each guaranteed at least $32,500, only 202 remained by the end of Level 24. Those still in contention have now locked up a minimum payout of $60,000. With every level, the pressure mounts and the pay jumps become even more meaningful.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Joe Hachem's legendary 2005 WSOP Main Event victory, where he became the only Australian to ever win the title. In 2022, Adrian Attenborough came heartbreakingly close, finishing runner-up to Espen Jorstad, while in 2018, Alex Lynskey reached the final table and placed seventh for $1.5 million.

Lynskey is back again with yet another deep run, further cementing his place as one of Australiaโ€™s best players for more than a decade. Also still in the mix is Octavian "Occy" Vogele, a veteran of the Aussie poker scene with an ANZPT Main Event title from 2011. Joining them is Melbourneโ€™s Rahul Rastogi, whose biggest career result was finishing third behind Lynskey in the 2018 WSOPC Main Event in Sydney.

well done to the workers for organising and fighting against the attack on their wages by star.

It's been a little over a decade since I last played poker at the Star in Brisbane. The last time I did in about 2009 or 2010ish, some random local cash reg decided to angle shoot me, wasn't even technically right, then started screaming death threats at me when I asked for the floor to be called. The floor ruled in favour of him and threatened to ban me. So basically, my opponent in the hand had hid his cards under his stack at some point during the hand after we were all in preflop, I tabled my hand face up, dealer motions to him after the river, he shrugs at the dealer and has no cards in front of him, Dealer mucks my face up displayed cards and starts pushing me the pot, before I can rake it in he pulls his cards out from under his stack and says I still have a hand and his is mucked, award me the pot, so the dealer bafflingly does that despite having clearly motioned to my opponent to show his hand at showdown and opponent not complying at the time and his hand not beating mine once eventually tabled. I ask for the floor, other dude starts threatening me physically in front of the dealer and floor, floor awards the pot to the other guy, I ask for floor to go to the cameras, floor says I will be 86'd from the venue if I take it any further or continue protesting their ruling, I rack up the rest of my chips and leave, never to return. and that ladies and gentlemen is why Star Brisbane can fuck all of the way off, now and forever. How do you go broke running a casino with a state granted monopoly in a city of two million people. Star are such an embarrassment. Australian Poker Schedule

What makes the Game of Fantasy stand out from regular fantasy competitions is the all important LIVE Fantasy Draft Auction taking place on August 14 , and is similar to the 25K Fantasy by Daniel Negreanu at the WSOP each year.

This edition of the Game of Fantasy is also similar to the 1K Fantasy that was held at the 2024 APL Million, and the 2K Fantasy at 2025 APO with a few small changes. (TBC)

Enter a team now, spaces are limited.
Be sure to book your travel so you can attend the Live Auction Player Draft on 14th August.

We thank APL for allowing us to run this event once again!

Its hard to believe, but its been 20 years since Melbourneโ€™s own Joe Hachem took the poker world by storm and made history at the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event.

Back then, the Main Event drew a record 5,619 players, all chasing pokerโ€™s most prestigious title and a life-changing payday. After a grueling week of play, Hachem outlasted them all, defeating Steve Dannenmann heads-up and pocketing a cool $7.5 million, the largest WSOP Main Event prize at the time.

His now-iconic final hand, 7โ™ฃ3โ™ , is etched into poker history. It wasnโ€™t just a win, it was a moment. The chant of โ€œAussie, Aussie, Aussieโ€ echoing through the Rio set the tone for what would become a poker boom in Australia. ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

Before Hachem, poker in Australia was niche. After his win, it exploded. Home games popped up everywhere, local poker leagues flourished, and Aussies started dreaming big on the felt.

Joe didnโ€™t just win a bracelet, he kicked off a cultural shift. He made poker feel possible for the everyday Australian. Two decades later, his win still stands as a turning point for the game down under.

And with the 2025 WSOP Main Event kicking off this week in Las Vegas, its the perfect time to reflect on how far the game has come. We wish the best of luck to all the Aussies over there chasing their own dream this year.

No proof of anything here, and it hasn’t impacted anyone’s play or results. I’m with Doug , if it can’t be proven and no one’s been affected, it shouldn’t be a big deal. If we’re calling things out though, maybe focus on something that’s actually been confirmed — like Jade Mitchell, who’s been caught cheating twice and is somehow still allowed to play in APL and other venues. Now that’s what’s ridiculous.

Sounds like the guy paid $500,000 for a bracelet

I watched it and thought this is the weirdest heads up I have seen - actually thought something dodgy going on here

Get ready to witness the poker grind like never before โ€” through the eyes of Australia's freshest and furriest rap talent. In "Poker Hoodie Sweater", Binky Bill trades eucalyptus for epic beats, dropping a poker anthem that captures the high-stakes lifestyle from Brizzy to Sydney and beyond.

This original track is a swagger-filled journey through the underground poker scene โ€” part vlog, part victory lap. With clever wordplay, Aussie attitude, and nods to legends like Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey, Binky takes you behind the shades and beneath the hoodie, where strategy meets swagger and every chip tells a story.

๐ŸŽฌ The music video brings Binky to life like youโ€™ve never seen him before โ€” suited up in his iconic black poker hoodie, cameras rolling, chips stacking, and cards flying in real Aussie card rooms and tourney stops from Albury to The Goldy. Expect epic wide shots, moody backroom lighting, stacks crashing, slow-motion chip flips, and a koala mascot who raps like he was born in the back of a cardroom.

๐Ÿƒ Whether you're a grinder, a fan of Aussie rap, or just here for the poker hoodie heat, this is your anthem.

๐ŸŽง โ€œI feel like my boy Dnegs, always ten moves ahead of my competition, listen, they ain't gonna stop me everโ€ฆโ€
