With the unlikely hero at the WSOP Main Event at Las Vegas. The player from Australia who had his own cheering section at the final table chanting the famous Aussie chant, was an unlikely hero. Australia doesn't have that many poker players and not one who has achieved what Joe Hachem had achieved. Joe Hachem Has turned into a household name.
Poker Stars kept with their marketing strategy to sign all winners of the WSOP main event and now Joe Hachem joined the likes of Greg Raymer and Chris
Moneymaker. Joe Hachem can be seen at all the EPT events and the WSOP main event.
Joe Hachem has joined the list of nobody's to make it to world poker champion and world fame by winning the Main Event. The WSOP continues to crown no names in poker and the sport keeps growing because of it. It is
what drives the poker industry - the fact that you could be playing online at your computer one day and be at the final table with your heroes one day. There is no other sport that has that reputation. You cannot play basketball at a school yard one day and the next play against Michael Jordan - but in poker, you can! |
