Hachem Checks Out

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

Joe Hacham recently took a hit and was down to 9,000 after doubling up a player at his table. It wasn't long before he tried to double up himself. All the chips were in the middle preflop between Hachem and his opponent.

Hachem: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Hachem was looking good through most of the hand as the board ran out {2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} but the {a-Diamonds} on the river was enough to give his opponent the best hand and send Hachem to the rail.

Fittingly enough, Steve Dannenmann, who finished runner-up to Hachem in the 2005 Main Event busted right around the same time as Hachem
