World Series of Poker WinnerThe 2005 World Series of Poker winner, Joseph Hachem, took the runner-up out in the sixth hand of a one-on-one play in the final round. The final table was a marathon that lasted 14 hours after six full days of poker. At first it didn't seem that Hachem would be the World Series of Poker winner, but he held onto a small stack for most of the final table, and then managed to hang on until he got a lucky break. He slowly built his stack of chips up and became the chip leader for the final one-on-one against Steve Dannenman. In the end, it only took six hands for Hachem to beat Dannenman and become that year's World Series of Poker winner.Do you want instant cash bonuses; sign-up and reload bonuses?
