Hachem New Poker Stars Spokesman

27 Dec 2005

Poker Stars has signed 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion Joe Hachem as its newest poker ambassador. The last two WSOP champions Greg "Fossilman" Raymer and Chris Moneymaker both won their WSOP seats through Poker Stars. Both Raymer and Moneymaker are also exclusive Poker Stars representatives.

Hachem has been an active player at PokerStars since 2001. However, he paid $10,000 for his WSOP seat and did not win his seat online. "Joining Team PokerStars is a natural decision for me," said Hachem. "Poker Stars is the site where I really picked up on the intricacies of tournament poker. The wide selection of tournaments and games is so great that I become a skilled player within a relatively short time-frame."

Hachem, age 39, is a native of Lebanon who immigrated to Australia in 1972. He now lives in Melbourne with his wife and four children. Hachem’s win brought a breath of fresh air to an event that has been heavily dominated by Americans. Throughout final table action, Hachem’s countrymen cheered him on with chants of "Aussie, Aussie, Oi!, Oi!, Oi!" When he won, Hachem wrapped himself in an Australian flag.
