Hachem Gets Some Back

It's bee a rough start for 2005 Main Event Champion Joe Hachem. Last we saw, he was sitting on half his starting stack. However, he just took down a decent pot to get his stack back up to 20,000.

We caught the action on the flop, which was {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}. There was 2,250 in the pot, and Hachem's opponent fired out 1,100. Hachem clicked it back to 2,800, and his opponent called. The {10-Diamonds} hit the turn, and it was checked to Hachem, who fired out 5,700. His opponent tanked for a while before letting his hand go. This could be the start of a comeback for the former main event champ.
