Former WSOP Main Event Champion Joe Hachem Sits Down

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

While six players are battling for this year's WSOP Main Event Championship, a former WSOP ME Champ is looking to add to his resume in Macau. Joe Hachem took his seat not too long ago right next to Andy Andrejevic.

Hachem joins a table with Yuguang Li, who is 4th in the APOY rankings this year and won two events the last time he was in Macau. Naoya Kihara and Vladimir Troyanovskiy are also at the table.

Andrejevic Looking to Capitalize

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Andy Andrejevic
Andy Andrejevic

Andjelko "Andy" Andrejevic has a little under $800,000 USD in live cashes. Almost half of his lifetime earnings came in September 2015 when he had a third, fourth, and seventh place finish for over $360,000. His most recent cash was his third place finish at the WPT Main Event at Maryland Live. Just five days earlier he finished seventh in the WPT Borgata Championship.

Andrejevic has nine top eight finishes and a breakthrough here would earn him his biggest live cash on top of his first live tournament win.

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

There was a raise preflop and three players saw the flop, but by the turn it was heads up and Michael Addamo shoved for 25,000.

The flop was {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} and two players checked to Addamo who bet 4,500. He got one caller. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the action checked to Addamo again. This time Addamo shoved all in for 25,000, putting the pressure on his opponent. His opponent folded and was left with a little over 20,000 following the hand. Meanwhile, Addamo got back over the starting stack and is sitting at 34,500.

Troyanovskiy's Pressure Too Much for Andrejevic

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy
Vladimir Troyanovskiy

Vladimir Troyanovskiy bet the flop, turn, and river to win a pot against Andy Andrejevic.

The flop was {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Troyanovskiy bet 1,200. Andrejevic called. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and Troyanovskiy bet again, this time making it 2,600 to go. Andrejevic took a little over a minute to decide on a call. The river was the {k-Diamonds} and it was more of the same from Troyanovskiy, who bet 6,650 into the roughly 9,600 pot. Andrejevic didn't take too long to decide to muck his hand and give the pot to Troyanovskiy.
