Joe Hachem Completes Endorsement Deal With Poker Stars
Joe Hachem, the 2005 World Series of Poker champion, who beat a record field and scooped the Main Event first prize of $7.5 million, has signed on with PokerStars. It was well known in the online poker industry that a number of poker rooms were interested in signing Joseph Hachem to an endorsement deal. They had a shot because Hachem actually paid the $10,000 entry fee out of his own pocket, and was not previously linked to any online poker room.
