Joe Hachem –husband, father of four, former chiropractor and one of the world’s most famous poker players – turned his hobby into his profession when a rare condition made it impossible for him to continue practicing as a chiropractor.

Joe defeated 5,618 players to win the main event at the 2005 World Series of Poker, the ‘Wimbledon of Poker’, earning him a record breaking US$7.5 million and thrusting him into the eclectic and myriad world of celebrity and tournament poker. After winning the 2005 WSOP bracelet, Joe pocketed another $700,000 with a second place finish at the 2006 WSOP US$2,500 No-

His hot-streak didn’t cool however and in December 2006 Joe was counting his chips again after winning the World Poker Tour Five Diamond Classic event, and another US$2.2million, to become only the fourth player to win both a WPT and WSOP main event.

Joe Hachem is ranked third on the all time tournament poker money list, was the subject of a documentary on his 2005 WSOP win, has penned his autobiography ‘Pass the Sugar!’ and created Channel 10’s ‘The Poker Star’ television series.
