Default Couldn\'t happen to nicer bloke

If you live in Melbourne and play poker you play at Crown Casino. Joe Hachem is part of the furniture at the crown poker room and has been for over a decade. When news began filtering in that Joe was in the money an air of excitement began to grow, could it be possible that one of our own could take out the big one. No one would dare dream it. So when the final table got down to five with Joe short stacked I logged off at Cardplayer and went down to crown to play some hands. The staff were providing regular updates on Joes progress. "Joe has just doubled up with Q7d"
A huge cheer break out through out the room.
"News just in Joe has taken the chip lead" and eventually
"Joe Hachem has just won the WSOP ME with 73 off when he flopped the 2nd nuts" Every player stopped stood up cheered and clapped. Everyone who knows Joe will tll you that he is a very humble likeable guy and a hell of a poker player. I cant even begin to image what this is going to do for the image of poker in Australia. It's already booming this is going to send it into the stratosphere.

Congrats Joe, everyone at home is very proud of you.

From here on end 73 off will be known as The Hachy"

Brilliant!!!!!
