Current World Series of Poker (WSOP) Champion Joe Hachem has confirmed his participation in the New Zealand Poker Championships. Hailing from Australia, New Zealand is just a short flight away for the poker champ. Hachem hopes to capture the NZ$60,000 (US$39,480) top prize and the New Zealand poker title to go along with his 2005 WSOP Crown.
In addition to these prizes, the winner of the New Zealand Poker Championships, which will be taking place at Christchurch Casino on April 7th-8th, will also be awarded a free seat at the 2006 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. If Hachem wants that free seat at the WSOP main event, he will have to best this year's Aussie Millions champion Lee Nelson, who will also be among the expected playing field of about 150. Even without a free seat, however, Hachem can still probably be expected to show up at this year's WSOP to defend his title. After all, what's a $10,000 buy-in for someone who won $7.5 million just a short while ago?
