Bad TV Time For Tony Hachem

With Tony Hachem sitting in the big blind, his opponent in the small blind opened with a raise to 2,500 after the action was passed round.

Hachem questioned his opponent a few times before making 8,300 to go to put the decision back on the small blind.

There was no running away here, as the small blind reraised to 15,700 total as the action was put back to Hachem once again.

The ESPN cameras approached and fixed their lens and microphone squarely on one of the most popular poker brothers in the industry.

Eventually Hachem would release his hand but, after the small blind tabled his {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, wish he had kept it so as not to slip to 131,000 in chips.
