5,619 entries for $7,500,000. A former chiropractor from Melbourne, he was the first Australian to win the title, and the following year he added a World Poker Tour title at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic. In Australia he is often called the &#8220;Godfather of Australian Poker&#8221; for the boom that followed his win. <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><a href=\"#source-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worldpokerfederation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/joe-hachem-poker-legend.jpg?resize=1280%2C1707&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Joe Hachem, seated at a poker table at WPT Australia in 2019\" class=\"wp-image-37884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worldpokerfederation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/joe-hachem-poker-legend.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worldpokerfederation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/joe-hachem-poker-legend.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worldpokerfederation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/joe-hachem-poker-legend.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worldpokerfederation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/joe-hachem-poker-legend.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worldpokerfederation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/joe-hachem-poker-legend.jpg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Joe Hachem 2019&#8221; by World Poker Tour, via <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Joe_Hachem_2019.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a>, licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">CC BY 3.0<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Joe_Hachem_key_facts\"><\/span>Joe Hachem: key facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table wpf-keyfacts\"><table><tbody>\n<tr><th>Full name<\/th><td>Joseph &#8220;Joe&#8221; Hachem <sup><a href=\"#source-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Nickname<\/th><td>&#8220;Diamond Joe&#8221; <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Country<\/th><td>Australia <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Born<\/th><td>1966, Beirut, Lebanon <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><a href=\"#source-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Lives in<\/th><td>Melbourne <sup><a href=\"#source-7\">[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Known for<\/th><td>Winning the 2005 WSOP Main Event; the Australian poker boom that followed<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>WSOP bracelets<\/th><td>1 (56 cashes, 9 final tables on WSOP.com) <sup><a href=\"#source-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Major titles<\/th><td>WSOP Main Event 2005; WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic 2006 <sup><a href=\"#source-3\">[3]<\/a><a href=\"#source-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Hall of Fame<\/th><td>Australian Poker Hall of Fame, inaugural inductee 2009 <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Live tournament earnings<\/th><td>$13,083,051 as of October 5, 2026 <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Early_life_from_Beirut_to_Melbourne\"><\/span>Early life: from Beirut to Melbourne<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hachem was born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1966, just before the Six-Day War. He was the eldest of three sons, and he was six when his family emigrated to Melbourne, Australia, with the help of a loan organized through the Catholic Church. His parents separated when he was 13. His youngest brother, Tony Hachem, is also known in the poker world. <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><a href=\"#source-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He worked from a young age, including at a meat-packing plant and in modeling, before becoming a chiropractor and building his own practice. That career ended when he was diagnosed with erythromelalgia, a rare condition that causes chronic inflammation of the blood vessels in the hands and feet. He sold the practice and went to work as a mortgage banker. <sup><a href=\"#source-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beginning_in_poker\"><\/span>Beginning in poker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hachem picked up poker in the mid-1990s and became a regular in the cash games and tournaments at Melbourne&#8217;s Crown Casino. He also hosted a monthly 30-player, three-table tournament in his garage. His winnings in Melbourne built the bankroll that paid for his trip to the 2005 World Series of Poker. <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><a href=\"#source-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trip came about at the last minute, when his wife, Jeanie, changed the family&#8217;s vacation plans so that he could travel with a group of friends from Melbourne who were going to Las Vegas. It was his first visit to the WSOP. Before the Main Event he finished 10th in a $1,000 No-Limit Hold&#8217;em event, one place short of the final table. Unlike the two previous champions, he was not an online qualifier: he paid the $10,000 Main Event entry himself. <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><a href=\"#source-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Playing_style\"><\/span>Playing style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hachem made his name in <a href=\"https:\/\/worldpokerfederation.org\/poker\/how-to-play-poker\/variants-and-rules\/how-to-play-texas-holdem\/\">No-Limit Hold&#8217;em<\/a>, but many of his later WSOP cashes came in mixed and split-pot games, above all <a href=\"https:\/\/worldpokerfederation.org\/poker\/how-to-play-poker\/variants-and-rules\/how-to-play-omaha-poker\/\">Pot-Limit Omaha<\/a> Hi-Lo. In 2015 he said of that event: &#8220;This is the one tournament outside of the Main Event I look forward to every year.&#8221; <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><a href=\"#source-7\">[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He describes himself as a low-volume player who relies on live reads rather than study tools. &#8220;My game is always just solid\u2026 I don&#8217;t put any real time into it, I don&#8217;t play that much,&#8221; he told PokerNews in 2026, adding: &#8220;I still believe my live play reads and the way I handle myself at a table serve me well.&#8221; <sup><a href=\"#source-8\">[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greatest_achievements\"><\/span>Greatest achievements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_2005_WSOP_Main_Event\"><\/span>The 2005 WSOP Main Event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2005 Main Event drew a record 5,619 entries. Its prize pool of $52,818,610 was the largest ever for a single tournament, and the $7,500,000 first prize was the biggest tournament payout up to that time. <sup><a href=\"#source-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup> The final table at Binion&#8217;s Gambling Hall &amp; Hotel in Las Vegas lasted 14 hours and included Mike Matusow, who finished ninth, Andy Black, Aaron Kanter and Tex Barch. Hachem was short-stacked for much of the day before a late run gave him a lead of roughly two to one going into heads-up play against Steve Dannenmann. <sup><a href=\"#source-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the final hand Hachem held seven-three and flopped a straight on a 6-5-4 board. Dannenmann, with ace-three, made top pair on the turn and called Hachem&#8217;s all-in, and the river did not help him. Hachem won $7,500,000 and Dannenmann $4,250,000. Hachem became the first Australian to win the Main Event and the sixth non-American in the tournament&#8217;s 35-year history. <sup><a href=\"#source-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup> PokerNews described him in 2026 as still the only Australian to have won it. <sup><a href=\"#source-8\">[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_2006_WPT_Five_Diamond_World_Poker_Classic\"><\/span>The 2006 WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December 2006 Hachem won the World Poker Tour&#8217;s Five Diamond World Poker Classic at Bellagio for $2,207,575. <sup><a href=\"#source-1\">[1]<\/a><a href=\"#source-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup> The event had 583 entries at a $15,400 entry fee. Daniel Negreanu went out in third place, and Hachem beat Jim Hanna heads-up.
