HE'S perfected his poker face, but card playing champion Joe Hachem is taking another gamble with his latest career move as a big-screen star.
The former world poker champion will make his film debut in the Australian flick Prey.
While he's unlikely to earn the $10 million prize pool he reaped in the 2005 World Series Poker title, Hachem is laying his talent on the table after signing for a small, but pivotal role in the film.
The poker ace will star alongside Rogue Traders babe Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Jesse Johnson, son of Miami Vice star Don Johnson.
