Timberlake Plays Poker with Hachem

Is JT a poker shark? (Credit: Wikipedia) 

Justin Timberlake likes the finer things in life. When preparing for a gig Down Under, he isn’t content to just play with his roadies and back-up dancers. Oh no! The ‘Sexy Back’ singer asked his management to put in a call to the Crown Casino in Melbourne, home of the Aussie Millions Main Event. They asked for a game with none other than 2005 WSOP Main Event champion, Joseph Hachem.

Hachem, who was nearby in Macau playing in an APPT event at the time, agreed to the match-up. He happily played with the pop singer for several hours. He even graciously conceded some pots to Timberlake, former beau of Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz. As Hash told reporter Letitia Rowlands, “you always let them win.”

Returning the favor, JT gifted Hachem’s teenage daughters with front-row tickets to his performance.

Now that’s what we call a perk!
