Hachem Can't Get Past Day One

Joe Hachem - Eliminated
Joe Hachem - Eliminated
Joe Hachem has been frustrated in his efforts since returning from the dinner break, and we join him as he's involved in another pot, this time tangling with Mitchell Carle.

The dealer spreads out a flop of {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}, and Hachem checks. Carle bets 2,250, and Hachem makes the call.

The turn comes the {6-Clubs}, and Hachem check-calls another bet, this time 4,725 chips.

Fifth street would prove to be the last for Hachem. The {7-Spades} hit the board, and Carle moved all in with a covering bet. Hachem made the call, putting his tournament life on the line. Carle rolled over {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}, and Hachem spun his cards into the muck. He stood up from his chair, muttering, "Still can't get past Day 1 here," and walked away from the table.

Carle is on 59,000 now.
