Back in 2005 Joe Hachem took down the World Series of Poker Main Event to spark a poker boom in Australia. Nearly a decade later, his son, Anthony, looks to continue the family's poker legacy.

We caught up with Anthony in a recent hand with around 3,000 in the pot and a board reading {4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Hachem checked and then called a bet of 1,100 from his opponent in the cutoff. When the {4-Spades} river put three fours on board, Hachem checked and the cutoff gave up and did the same. The cutoff sheepishly showed the {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, which was no good against Hachem's {q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} full house.
