Hachem Halted by Boxell

Tony Hachem won't be adding another result to his impressive record here!
Tony Hachem won't be adding another result to his impressive record here!

Without doubt, this last level has been the Leo Boxell and Tony Hachem hour!

Consequently it is no surprise that one of them would fall to another to continue their joint domination of this past fifty-five minutes.

Leo Boxell opened to 800 from under the gun only to see the action folded round to Tony Hachem in the small blind. Hachem committed his final 3,700 and once the big blind passed, Boxell made the call.

Boxell: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Hachem: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

Always known for getting his money in with the best of it; Hachem again saw the last of his chips enter the pot with a heavy advantage over Boxell's suited ace.

The {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} flop was the worst that Hachem could have seen without relinquishing his lead in the hand as it gave Boxell now ten additional outs to go along with his three aces.

Unfortunately for the Team PokerStars Pro Australia member, the dealer would drop the {7-Clubs} on the turn to complete Boxell's flush and force Hachem to collect his belongings in preparation to exit the tournament area.

The meaningless {4-Clubs} landed on the river to reinforce Hachem's exit as he quietly made his way from the tournament floor while Boxell climbed to 14,000 in chips.

For someone that carries his heart on his sleeve, Hachem will be unable to add to his impressive record here in New Zealand that features six cashes over the past three years and four final tables.
