Hachem Loses a Big Pot
Level 8
Razz
Joe Hachem approached the live reporting to recall a three-way Razz hand in which the boards rather resembled other Stud variants and he "had to check the plaques four times "to make sure he was not going crazy.
According to Hachem, he had the KxAx8x2x showing and was up against two opponents which ended up with 4x3xAx / Qx7x2xJx and Qx6x2x / AxJx7x3x respectively to see the Aussie lose a pot of around 60,000 with two raises going into the middle on fourth and fifth street. That would have boosted his stack significantly while he instead dropped to fewer than the starting stack.
New on Hachem's table is Ben Yu, while Christian Roberts remains the biggest stack.
