Congratulations to Joe. I guess that after leaving the PokerstarsTeamPro get this new contract will make him see life with more 'security' (that means more $$$ in account).

Asian Poker Tour is already a big company but perhaps this bet on Joe Hachem will help it to gain visibility on the West Side of the world. And maybe Hachem can gather some friends to help making to move money around APT tables. Although they will start to center the attention in Asia and Australia, they will sure try to enter European market.

wise move joe- all the action is shifting towards asia (especially china)- this region is going to be the new leader in economy in not a very distant future- so there is a lot of potential over there. asian poker tour is not as big as some suggest, but it has a huge potential, and where is potential there is money to be made- so good luck joe and the rest who will follow soon
