2005 WSOP WINNER JOSEPH HACHEM
Joseph (Joe) Hachem (pronounced "Ha-shem") (born 3 November 1966 in Lebanon) is a Lebanese-Australian poker player.
Hachem and his family moved from Lebanon to Australia in 1972. In 2002, he gave up a career as a chiropractor due to a rare blood disorder in his hands, and decided to concentrate on poker.
Hachem won the 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $10,000 no limit Texas hold 'em Main Event, outlasting 5,618 other players, and winning $7,500,000. Hachem was short-stacked for much of the final table, and did not take a chip lead until there were just 3 players remaining. In the final hand, Hachem called a pre-flop raise from $300,000 to $700,000 with his 7 3. The flop came 6 5 4, giving Hachem a straight. When the turn brought the A, Steve Dannenmann made the top pair (with an up-and-down straight draw) with his starting hand of A 3. Hachem bet, Dannenmann raised, Hachem moved all-in and was called. In the end, Dannenmann could only tie if the river brought a 7 (giving him the same straight), but the 4 on the river ensured Hachem the win.
Unlike the previous two winners (Greg Raymer and Chris Moneymaker), Hachem was not an Internet qualifier, instead paying the full buy-in. However, like Raymer and Moneymaker, Hachem is now a representative of PokerStars.
After Hachem won the 2005 Main Event, WSOP commentator Norman Chad declared, "Hachem turned 7-3 offsuit into $7.5 million. Pass the sugar!" Hachem himself first used what would become his catch phrase after flopping a flush with A6 of clubs against Andrew Black's three queens, and winning a large pot.
