Moneymaker, Hachem Bust Day 5; All Past WSOP Main Event Champs Out

There will be no "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oy! Oy! Oy!" at the final table of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. Joe Hachem and Chris Moneymaker both busted early on Day 5, guaranteeing the eventual winner will be a first-time champion.

Tuesday's session began with 441 players, including the two aforementioned previous champs. Moneymaker famously won it in 2003, which helped spark a massive poker boom. Hachem, the Australian poker legend took it down in 2005 when he defeated Steve Dannenmann heads-up.
