. Seat 6 had {7-Hearts}

Barry Greenstein didn't suffer a bad beat with a hand - but he did when it came to his table reassignment. When his table broke in the $2K Pot Limit Hold'em, he was moved to a table even further away from his waiting table in the $5K Omaha hi/lo.

Hachem Brothers Both Playing Well

[user38420]

Joseph Hachem is among the leaders with about 16,000 and Tony Hachem is not far behind with about 10,000. Tony stopped by and said "Hello" as he moved to another table. I noticed him eye his brother's chip stack. Back to work.
