Hachem Fires Two Barrels at Batista

Chad "lilholdem954" Batista looks every inch the online player, decked out in the requisite hoodie, sunglasses, and Bose headphones as he sits ensconced in the nine-seat, across from Joe Hachem. The two just tangled in their first pot together, Batista putting in a pre-flop re-raise of Hachem's open, and the Aussie making the smooth call. The flop was {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Batista checked, Hachem bet 700, and Batisita called. The turn was the {9-Clubs}. Batista checked again, and after a short think, Hachem fired out another 2,000, sending Batista into the tank. After much chip riffling, Batista mucked, and Hachem took down an early pot.
