It's hard to believe that Joe Hachem could have a better WSOP than last years $7.5 million first place victory in the WSOP Main Event. However, with three strong showings in preliminary WSOP events, including 2 final tables, Hachem has shown that last years victory was no fluke. Hachem is currently second in the WSOP player of the year championship behind double bracelet winner Dr. Bill Chen. With one week remaining till the WSOP Main Event, Hachem has won just over $347,000. Look for another strong showing from the defending champ during the main event.
