Joe Hachem Profile
Joseph Hachem defeated 5618 players, including the second place finisher Steve Dannenmann, to win the main event at the 2005 World Series of Poker. His victory earned him a record breaking $7.5 million dollars and also cast him forever into the poker limelight. For one year, he will travel the world and be the ambassador to poker.
Hachem is a native of Lebanon, but in 1972, he and his family moved to Melbourne, Australia. He is married with four children. A chiropractor by trade, he gave that up a few years ago after a developing a rare blood disorder in his hands. While taking time off to consider his future, he began to play poker. He said, "I started in casinos, but in the past two years, I've been playing online a lot." When he isn't playing online or at the Crown Casino, he runs a small brokering business in Pascoe Vale.
