Former WSOP Champ Adds Millions to Bankroll

By launchpoker, Dec 21, 2006

When the former chiropractor from Australia won the World Series of Poker last year, he took home $7.5 million as his prize, and now Joe Hachem can claim he has made nearly $10 million playing tournament poker, thanks to a recent win at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Joe took down a field of some of the best players in America both last year and in his most recent victory, bringing him $2.2 million for his first place finish. Joe has seen a lot of success since his 2005 victory, including being immortalized in a number of poker video games.
