2005 WSOP Champion Joe Hachem Signs With PokerStars

Joe Hachem, the 2005 World Series of Poker champion has signed an agreement with PokerStars.com.

Hachem, who won the record $7.5 million top prize at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas in July, will represent PokerStars.com as a sponsored player and ambassador.

The signing of Hachem gives PokerStars.com a triple crown. Currently, 2003 WSOP champion Chris Moneymaker and 2004 WSOP champion Greg Raymer both serve exclusively as PokerStars.com representatives. The addition of Hachem means that PokerStars.com has locked up the last three world poker champions. In addition, Tom McEvoy, 1983 WSOP Champion and renowned poker author, is also a part of Team PokerStars.

Hachem said: 'Joining Team PokerStars is a natural decision for me, PokerStars.com is the site where I really picked up on the intricacies of tournament poker.'
