Joe Hachem Bio

Joe Hachem

Australia’s biggest poker export exploded onto the scene when he won the 2005 WSOP* Main Event for prize money of $7,500,000. Proving that this was far from a fluke, Joe picked up another major title when he won the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic in 2006 - good for another huge cash of $2,207,575. He’s also made several other final table appearances at the biggest events around the world, and came close to winning a second World Series bracelet when he finished as runner-up in a Shorthanded Hold’em event in 2006. Joe plays online using the screen name ‘JoeHachem’.
