Joe Hachem Family Man
The Family Side Of The Life Of Joe Hachem
There are many very famous names that you constantly hear among the poker players of today's poker world. One popular name that you are probably familiar with by now would be Joseph Hachem. This highly recognized Aussie won the 2005 World Series of Poker Championship, which landed him the large sum of $7.5 million.
Before his life among the poker players of the world, Hachem lived with his family in Lebanon , where he was born in 1966. Later on, in 1972, he and his family loaded up their belongings and moved to the beautiful Australia area, when he was just 12 years old. Joe has enjoyed living in the area of the Melbourne community ever since. He now lives in West Preston, which is a suburb of Melbourne , with his wife and his four children.
This outstanding poker player spent 13 long years of his life in the career of running a very successful chiropractor practice, a career that he enjoyed very much.
Not long after the millennium occurred, Joe was diagnosed with having a rare condition that affected the blood vessels. This condition also prevented Hachem from being able to use his hands in the way that would be required to be able to continue working in the field he enjoyed so much, and was used to working in. When he was not able to work at his accustomed profession any longer, this forced him into looking for another field of work, other than that of a chiropractic physician. This brought Joe the job of working as a mortgage broker, as well as more time to consider looking at his poker playing abilities a little more closely.
During this time Joe started considering the fact that he might have enough knowledge and skills to be able to consider himself as a semi-professional poker player. So he would put his skills to the test and play poker live in Melbourne , as well as playing against others online at PokerStars.
However, even with all of the success that Joe Hachem has been able to enjoy a lot of satisfaction from his huge win at the 2005 World Series of Poker tournament, his ability to play poker is still not his first true love.
Living among the Aussies, Joe has learned one valuable fact, and this would be that his family is the most important thing in his life, and to never forget this important fact.
His marriage to his beautiful high school sweetheart by the name of Jeanie has lasted 16 wonderful years. They were both very young when they met, Jeanie being the age of 12, and Joe being only at the age of 15. During the course of their marriage, this loving couple has shared in the birth of having four wonderful children.
Hachem enjoys being able to spend a great amount of his time traveling, which is something that he and his entire family find a lot of enjoyment in.
