How to win the WSOP
Joe Hachem

We find out how an Australian shot straight to the top of the WSOP money-list by winning the 2005 Main Event

In 2003 Chris Moneymaker changed the face of poker. By beating a field of thousands, with only a $30 online satellite buy-in, he made it clear that the game could be as profitable for total unknowns as it is for hardened pros. The next year, Greg Raymer continued the trend, and when Australian Joe Hachem won in 2005, raking in $7.5m, it seemed to complete a hat-trick. But to call Hachem an unknown would be doing him a disservice. He might not have been a big name outside Australia, but back at the Crown Casino in Melbourne he was well respected as a solid poker player.
