Melbourne Victory players will continue their championship celebrations by visiting Las Vegas next week. And they'll have an Aussie poker champion as their guide.

β€œA few of us will kick on to Vegas after our trip to Hawaii,” says Victory keeper Michael Theoklitos. β€œIn Vegas, Joe Hachem has promised to show us around. He's a fan of Victory having seen one of our finals games.”

Hashem was crowned world series of poker champion in 2005, winning $10 million

Poker has become a popular pastime this season with the Victory players when they travel interstate in the A-League.
