Wsop 2005 winner- Does he have a nickname?

[AA suited]

Why weep as nickname?

[Mike Haven]

Many years ago, there used to be an old saying that cowboys used, as they revealed and displayed their winning Draw Poker hand, particularly when they held a straight or better, of "Read'em and weep!"

This was changed, by poetic licence, to "Hold'em Hachem and Weep" after Weeper came to the fore by winning the 2005 WSOP Main Event.

Now, instead of the longer and perhaps slightly more formal Joe "Hold'em Hachem and Weep" Hachem he is known to his friends simply as "Weeper".

That is all.

A lot of poker champs don't have a nickname, including the guy who kicked off the poker the boom, the 2003 WSOP Champ (although his last name could not have been more perfect).

Chris "Cash Machine" Moneymaker?

Well, his PS nickname was "THE BLACK"
