Hachem Shocked By How Fast They're Passing the Sugah
With his back to the Brasilia Room's Bronze section, which is currently being broken down as players are eliminated from the field, 2005 WSOP Main Event Champion Joe Hachem was unable to see the Pot-Limit Omaha carnage unfolding behind him.
When Hachem finally noticed that all of the tables behind him were empty, he expressed disbelief that ten tables, and a hundred players, could have been broken in just four levels.
"There's no way we're going that fast, is there?" he asked his tablemates, still shocked that the field of nearly 1,000 runners had already been halved halfway through the first day of play.
For a player like Hachem, who is so accustomed to holding stacks of chips throughout most tournaments he enters, perhaps the thought of being felted so fast is foreign to him. With a healthy stack of 12,500 at the moment, Hachem does not appear to be in any danger of an early exit, although he may want to check with his brother Anthony Hachem, who was among the waves of players to be eliminated during the first level of play.
