Just one month to go until Australia's 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 year's events and highlighting many on this year's 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 $๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฌ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ 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 ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐. Last year, 20 teams drafted their Fantasy lineup at a Live Player Draft Auction the day before the series and followed their teamโs 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.
If you want to learn more about Game of Fantasy, how it works, last year's results, and how to get involved, visit our website. Seven teams are already locked in, with a cap of 20, so act fast if you want to join the fun.

Our last surviving Aussie from Brisbane, ๐ข๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฉ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ด๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ, has grinded his way deep into Day 7 of the WSOP Main Event. Just 40 players remain, and he has now secured US$240,000 (A$365,000), with the gigantic first prize of $10 million and the world championship title at the finish line.
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!
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! ๐ฆ๐บ
The latest update, courtesy of PokerNews, has him on a healthy 13,500,000 chips (45bb), around the average stack.

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.
There's a long way to go, it's 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.
Good Luck Occy! Aussie Aussie Aussie! ๐ฆ๐บ

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!
๐๐บ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ and ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ฒ๐ต๐ are the reigning Fantasy Champions after they drafted the winning team at the 2025 APO.
With a 30+ event series packed full of massive guarantees, as well as the return of the State of Origin, this series is expected to attract some of the best players in Australia. You can draft players like ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฒฬ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป, ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐น๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ & ๐ฅ๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป, to represent you! What a team that would be!
We will have APT Media's Jamie Hall as our Auctioneer for the night.
The auction is the night before the series, so make sure you book your travel plans to be at the venue Thursday July 24th 6pm.
The Australian Poker Schedule team canโt wait to attend the upcoming APT Sydney and host this event.

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 yearโs 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 Australiaโs 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 Melbourneโs 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 arenโt familiar with her personally (feel free to reach out if you know more), for now, weโre listing her as Australian based on the flag shown on PokerNews and her Hendon Mob profile. That said, thereโs 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.

Important Announcement: 2025 Brisbane Champs Postponed
We regret to advise that the 2025 Brisbane Champs, originally scheduled to commence this Friday, will be postponed. New dates for the series will be confirmed and announced in the coming weeks.
This decision follows potential ongoing Protected Industrial Action in Brisbane, which could impact operations over the coming period.
At The Star Poker, delivering a world-class player experience is our top priority. Due to the potential disruption from industrial action, and in the interest of maintaining the high standards our players expect and deserve - we have made the difficult decision to delay the event.
Players who have already secured a seat in the Main Event via satellite will be contacted directly and issued a cash payout in place of their entry. Players who have booked a hotel room on-site for the series should contact us via this page, and we will ensure your refund is processed.
We thank all our players for their understanding and continued support, and we look forward to announcing new dates soon for what promises to be a massive Brisbane Champs.
Guests must be aged 18 years or over to enter the casino. Player Activity Statements are available on request at the Guest Service Desk, via The Star App or our website. BET WITH YOUR HEAD, NOT OVER IT. Gambling Helpline 1800 858 858 gamblinghelpqld.org.au

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

Fantasy competitions add an additional level of fun to major sporting events and competitions. Pick your team, accumulate points, take on the other teams to win a share of the prizemoney. Examples of other well known fantasy competitions are NRL Supercoach & AFL Fantasy.
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!

In Dneg's latest two very popular WSOP Vlogs (Day 36 & 37), he calls this for what it is, and with players put in what he describes a brutal spot with an extra million dollars on offer, he doesn't blame them, in fact he empathizes with them even though they've been paid. The Canadian poker legend also notes breaking rules has consequences and it's out of the WSOP's hands, but rather the casino Caesar's and regulator Nevada Gaming that will likely see them banned aka 86'd (similar to Withdraw of License - WOL in Australia). He also suggested the eventual third place player was offered in on the deal but rejected it, thus not breaking the rules.
It's hard to disagree with Daniel's take with his experience in the industry, and the challenges it has faced over the years around regulation and gambling in the media, it is so important to protect the game and marketing campaigns such as this, and operators and businesses pushing the boundaries can put the spotlight on poker for the wrong reasons.
You can check out his two separate statements and watch Dneg's WSOP vlog at his channel linked below

It's hard to believe, but it's been 20 years since Melbourneโs 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 pokerโs 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, 7โฃ3โ , is etched into poker history. It wasnโt just a win, it was a moment. The chant of โAussie, Aussie, Aussieโ echoing through the Rio set the tone for what would become a poker boom in Australia. ๐ฆ๐บ
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 didnโt 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, it's 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.

Well well well. A balanced decision in our opinion. What are your thoughts? Great article by Jon Sofen - PokerNews
No Bracelet Awarded to Milly Maker Winner Following Alleged Chip Dumping Scandal
www.pokernews.com
The WSOP has decided on what to do with the controversial winners.6 CommentsComment on Facebook
100% the correct decision has been made. Take the money take the bonus chop the prize whatever but he doesn't deserve a bracelet
Correct decision imo. They are entitled to chop it, there money, but that takes the bracelet away, if they choose to chop
Should be very thankful they got their payouts…

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
What are your thoughts on the controversy?
๐ฎ The players should know before registering, as long as prior notice is given it is somewhat ok.
๐ก Operators should never cancel the guarantee. (unless force majeure, eg. natural disaster/pandemic)
๐คฃ Operators should stop using the word guarantee for marketing if it isn't 100% guaranteed. (eg. some state minimum players in T&Cs and fine print incase it overlays)
๐ฅฒ Something else?

I mean that’s rubbish doing it during the tournament. If there’s conditions on the guarantee being in place, that should be publicised well in advance
If they give notice like 2 months(maybe more) in advance than it shouldn't be any issue

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.
๐ฌ The music video brings Binky to life like youโve 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.
๐ Whether you're a grinder, a fan of Aussie rap, or just here for the poker hoodie heat, this is your anthem.
๐ง โI feel like my boy Dnegs, always ten moves ahead of my competition, listen, they ain't gonna stop me everโฆโ
