    Hachem one of four players to win WSOP and now a WPT event.

    December 21 - Joseph Hachem, the 2005 World Series of Poker Final Event Champion has put a stop to criticism that he was a one hit wonder, and won the very tough Five Diamond North American Poker Classic at the Bellagio, crushing an super competitive field of 583 players...

    This makes Hachem, one of only four people who have won both a World Series Final Event and a World Poker Tour event. The others were Doyle Brunson, Carlos Mortenson and Scotty Nguyen. That is Poker Super Stardom if anything is.

    Pretty impressive company.

    I guess he isn't a one hit wonder from down under.

    The fact that Hachem finished like 230 in the 06 Main Event proved he was good. This just ices it.

    You like Hachem, but yet hate Raymer. Please explain why you think Raymer is a fraud.

    Illusion,I may be wrong but I think they are reffering to Ian Gold. They guy who won in 06. I also hated his playing strategy. Talked alot about his hands. Not good poker etiquette
