Seat 6: Anthony Hachem (Melbourne, Australia) – 1,320,000 chips
At just 22 years of age, Anthony Hachem is the youngest player on our final table. A Bank Teller by day, Hachem has been playing poker since her turned 18, but of course, has been very exposed to the game since 2005 when his father Joe Hachem won the WSOP Main Event and changed the game forever in this country.
However Anthony is now starting to make a name for himself in his own right. He was victorious in a side event at this year’s Aussie Millions and will now be gunning for an ANZPT title – two things that his father has yet to achieve.
Anthony noted that he was fortunate to have made it this far after running pocket kings into pocket aces in a monstrous pot against Gautam Dhingra on Day 1a, only to spike a king on the flop to stay alive and claim the chip lead. From there, he’s been able to navigate his way to his first ANZPT cash and final table.
