Hachem Takes Three-Quarters From Buchman

Level 2 : 200/400, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was on the turn on a board of {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Clubs} and action checked to Eric Buchman who was in the big blind. He put out a bet before Joe Hachem made it two bets on the button. The player in the small blind folded but Buchman made it three bets. Hachem called.

The river was the {J-Hearts} and this time both players checked. Buchman showed {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a missed flush draw and the nut low, but Hachem was holding {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Hachem also had the nut low, and a missed flush draw, but his pair of eights was enough to take down the high half of the pot, earning him three quarters.

The Art of the Live Multitable

Level 2 : 200/400, 0 ante
John Racener
John Racener

Over the years multitabling at the World Series of Poker has been something that only the most skilled players could pull off. Tom Dwan was one of the first to showcase the feat during his bracelet bet years, running back and forth across the Rio convention center to get into as many events as he could. Shaun Deeb was also seen this year running deep in two events at the same time, nearly making multiple final tables.

But, with the addition of online bracelet events, multitabling just got a whole lot easier. Today, alongside this event, Event #47: $565 WSOP.com ONLINE Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed is also running. Several players in this field have already been spotted on their laptops, playing both this event and that event. This includes bracelet winner John Racener among others.

So far, we've yet to see someone win a bracelet while playing another event, but the feat must be inching closer as more and more online bracelet events are added each year.
