LMFAO at OP berating Joe Hachem and calling him one hit wonder. I'm not a fan of Joe Hachem but to call him a one-hit wonder? Let me ask people in this thread who thinks of him as one-hit wonder. What have you done?
Joe Hachem
2005 WSOP Main Event champ.
2006 WPT Champ
2006 - 2nd in WSOP $2500 Short-handed NLHE, 4th in WSOP $2500 PLHE, cashed in 2006 WSOP Main Event finished 238th out of 8000 players.
2009 - WSOP Main Event, finished 103rd out of roughly 6500 players
He's far from one-hit wonder. But even if he was, such as Chris Moneymaker and Jamie Gold, who cares? Meanwhile, ask yourself, what have you done? Winning a tournament at your local casino for $40-$100 buy-in tournament for $1k-$2k or online microstakes tournament for few hundred dollars? Winning few thousand dollars off some microstakes fish?
I would love to be one-hit wonder with millions of dollars in winnings. It would definitely beat working two jobs in an attempt to break 6-figure income.
Tom Dwan would LOVE to get those bracelets and be where Joe Hachem is. I've heard he's lost prop bets in the past because he wanted to win a WSOP bracelet and had prop bet that he will but failed although he was only one place short from achieving it since he was a runner-up.
