Grant Levy is arguably one of the biggest Australian names that poker has produced here on our home soil. He is the first ever player to win a million dollars playing cards in Australia. In December 2007, the PE teacher, husband and father from Western Sydney won the Asia Pacific Poker Tour at Star City Casino in Sydney to become Australia's ‘million dollar man’.

Our episode this week features one of the most engaging poker stories within Australia that you’re going to come across. Join the discussion as we hear about how Grant started out as an online player then had his first live score for $200k then traveled the entire world for years playing with the world's toughest well-known players such as Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Justin Bonomo and dozens more.

We take a unique style this episode as we sift through his Hendon mob and replay a story of what his career was like and how he managed to travel, compete and play for a living while supporting a beautiful wife and upcoming family of three children.
