Shortly after winning the 2019 GCP Player of the Year award, Joe Saleh capped off his weekend by winning the Poker Gras Main Event. In this interview with Joe, we peel the curtain back on an epic adventure. Joe tells us his humble origin that started as an apprentice car mechanic in Jordan. Through hard work, perseverance, and sheer force of will, Joe became the owner of one of the biggest import car repair shops in Mississippi. He also tells rollicking stories from on and off the felt, including meeting his American wife online, four-betting preflop with 5-8 offsuit, the tricks he used to learn English, and his go-for-broke, never-give-up-attitude that steers him throughout his life.
