Tony Hachem Limps In
PokerStars Team Australia Pro Tony Hachem has just limped into the tournament.
When we say limped . . . we literally mean limped!
A few weeks ago, Hachem had a major operation on his left ankle as a result of injuries he had sustained over the past few years (before he hit the poker circuit full time) playing Australian Rules Football (AFL) and other sports.
The operation was a success according to his doctors, and although he spent the last two weeks recovery at home, his surgeon has cleared him to wear an ankle break for the next few weeks. Consequently, his willingness and devotion to Australian poker, saw him make the trip up to Sydney to participate in the main event.
Whether he has crutches, an ankle brace or a bucketload of pain medicine in his system, Hachem is here to play!
