A man who needs little introduction, the 2005 WSOP champion is already a member of one of poker��s most elite clubs as one of five men to have captured a WSOP Main Event and WPT title, after he captured the prestigious WPT Five-Diamond Classic title in 2006. Born in Lebanon, he moved to Australia in the early 1970s, where he worked as a chiropractor and mortgage broker. Married with four children, he stunned the poker world by beating a record-breaking 5619-player field in the 2005 WSOP Main Event. Since then, he has been the catalyst for the massive growth of poker in Australia, and one of the game��s most respected ambassadors. The 41-year-old played in the APPT events in Manila and Seoul, and by reaching the final table in Macau, he is aiming to become the first WSOP/WPT/APPT champion. Joe Hachem is a Team PokerStars Pro.
