A Snapshot of Lee and Hachem
Joe Hachem has been moved over to Doug Lee's table, taking a seat just to the left of Lee.
The two were in conversation when a hand arose in which it folded around to Hachem on the button, and Hachem raised to 2,500. The small blind folded, and as the short-stacked player on the big blind tanked a photographer started taking pictures of Hachem. Lee cheekily held up two fingers for rabbit ears behind Hachem for a moment, getting a brief laugh from the others and a grin from the 2005 WSOP Main Event champ.
Finally the big blind pushed all in for about 30,000, and Hachem said "yeah, yeah, whatever" as he tossed his cards in.
On the next hand, Lee raised to 2,800 from the hijack seat and only Hachem called from the cutoff. The flop came , and when Lee continued with a bet Hachem folded his face up. Lee showed one card -- the -- and collected the small pot.
Lee has 136,000 now, while Hachem has 40,000.
