Hachem Outshines Shino

Yasuki Shino - Eliminated
Yasuki Shino - Eliminated
We picked up the action in a hand between Yasuki Shino and Tony Hachem on the turn with the board showing {7-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {7-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, and about 21,000 chips already in the middle of the table.

Action was on Shino, and he moved all in for his last 8,100. Hachem went into the tank before a clock was called to keep the pace of the tournament going. Hachem eventually said, "I'm going to call," though he seemed to hate his decision.

Shino tabled {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}, and Hachem showed down {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}, the leading hand. "Good call, Hach-ey baby!" he shouted. The he turned his attention to the dealer. "Deuce... deuce," he pleads.

As if he were picking cards out of the deck, the {2-Clubs} hit on the turn, giving Hachem the pot and sending Shino out with just a few tables remaining.

Meanwhile, Joe's brother, Tony, is moving up in the world. He now sits on about 80,000 in chips.
