The Kings of Leon met poker ace Joe Hachem last week in the Crown Poker Room after requesting to meet, and challenge, the world poker champion whilst visiting Melbourne on their international tour.
The Grammy and Brit-award winning band had their first opportunity to hit the felt with Hachem on Thursday afternoon, the day before they rocked out to a sold-out Rod Laver Arena crowd, followed by an 80,000 strong MCG crowd for Sound Relief on Saturday, with their final sold-out Melbourne concert on Saturday night.
As if this wasn't enough action for one weekend, the Kings met with Hachem again on Sunday for a round of golf, before making another visit to the Crown Poker Room last night, this time joined by Zac Efron who is also in town promoting his latest movie, 17 Again.
