Raymond Rahme

Before he ever considered a life of poker, Raymond Rahme owned a business, married his sweetheart, and raised a family.  He was in his sixties before he learned to play Texas Hold’em.  Rahme considered himself more of a seven-card stud player.  However, he quickly changed his mind and became a hold’em player.  Why?  As it turned out, he was pretty good at that game, too.

In 2007, Rahme did well in the All Africa Poker Tournament.  With that victory behind him, he decided to take his shot at the 2007 World Series Main Event.  Two weeks later, South African Rahme was sitting at the final table.  He was the first main event final table player in history to hail from the continent of Africa.  Rahme’s third place finish earned him an impressive $3,048,025. Raymond recently earned big once again at All Africa Poker Tournament, picking up $125,000 for his victory at the event.

While he still considers poker as a retirement hobby, Rahme continues to play in tournaments online and around the world. He plays at PokerStars under the name 'Ray Rahme'.
