Joe Hachem Makes 2015 WSOP Debut; Reflects on Main Event Win 10-Year Anniversary

Ten years ago, a little-known former chiropractor named Joe Hachem shook the poker world when he topped a field of 5,619 players to win the 2005 World Series of Poker for $7,500,000. He did so be defeating a final table that included such blasts from the past as Scott Lazar, Andy Black, Tex Barch, and of course Steve Dannenmann.

It's hard to imagine it has been a decade since Hachem won poker's most coveted title. Since then, Hachem has amassed 17 WSOP cashes totaling $8,064.
