Poker Player Beats WSOP Main Event Champ Joe Hachem for Major Poker Trophy

The final day of the 2026 Victorian Poker Championship began with a tough final day in the $2,500 Victorian Champs Main Event , but two names stood above the rest among the final nine contenders. In the end, a back-and-forth battle between Hun Wei Lee and Joe Hachem brought a memorable finish to the series. After more than two hours of heads-up play, Lee got the better of his poker idol to claim another victory at Crown Melbourne just six months after his last.
