Hachem Enters Danger Zone

Still in the start-of-day lineup which made neighbours of Ben Vinson, Per Linde and Joe Hachem, of the three it is Vinson, who started out making unsuccessful moves and dropping to 13,000, who is ahead on 54,000. Per Linde did just raise Vinson off his prelfop 1,400 though (with a raise to 5,200 with 14k behind) but is still struggling along with 20,500.

Hachem, meanwhile, is down to just 16,000 - we caught this from the turn with the board standing {7-Spades} {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs} . Hachem had bet 10,000 (around the pot, or just below) and his opponent had ast him in - he passed saying, "So you had aces then?"
