The Hachems are in Full Swing
Three players headed to a flop of A?Q?9? and the action checked to Joe Hachem who bet 2,000 from the hijack. Derek Davis called on the button and Charles Leonard check-raised to 7,000. Both Hachem and Davis called to see the 7? on the turn.
Leonard fired out a bet of 7,500 on the turn and Hachem raised to 20,000 which got Davis to fold but Leonard snap-called. The river was the J? and Leonard checked to Hachem who bet 25,000. Leonard thought for a moment but decided to dump his Q?Q? into the muck and Hachem collected the pot.
Meanwhile, just across the aisle in the Horseshoe ballroom, Daniel Hachem has already doubled his starting stack. Joe is famously known for winning the 2005 WSOP Main Event for $7.5 million but Daniel also made a deep run in 2019, finishing in 79th place for just shy of $100,000.
