The 39-year-old gambler from Melbourne moved with his family from his native Lebanon in 1972 and gave up a 13-year chiropractic career three years ago to play poker for a living.

no doubt that he's a proud Aussie but im sure he's proud of where he came from as well. We can now add another great arab poker player to the list of many.

Congrats Joe Hachem!
