While the "Hachem" name is well-known around the world after Joe Hachem captured the 2005 WSOP Main Event title, it is not him making noise at the 2019 World Series of Poker. His son, Daniel, has been playing poker for a few years now and is starting to run up a stack in the Main Event as he hopes to follow in his father's footsteps.

Hornung was calling for hearts and the flop gave her straight and flush draws. The turn gave her a pair as well and she dodged the dreaded "too many outs" curse as the river completed her flush draw and she tripled up.
"You can have that one," said Matusow. "I'll take the main." He sends Shimizu to the rail early on Day 4.
It's money time in the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event! After three full days of grinding at the tables, players are finally getting paid for their efforts. Last night, an arduous bubble phase came to an end when Ryan Pochedly ultimately became the last player to leave the Main Event empty-handed. As a consolation prize, Vice President of the World Series of Poker Jack Effel handed him a free entry to the 2020 Main Event. With Pochedly's bustout, the remaining 1,286 out of a field of 8,569 players have all secured themselves a payday of $15,000 and will be looking for more when cards go back in the air at noon.
Leading the way is Norwegian player and high roller Preben Stokkan, who crafted a classic chip-and-a-chair story for himself by turning one single T-5,000 chip, left after a huge bluff went wrong, into the overnight chip lead of 2,184,000, making him the only player to cross the two million mark. Hot on Stokkan's heels is Andrew Brokos (leading picture), who once again will be wielding one of the biggest stacks in the room at the start of the day (1,906,000). Bracelet winner Galen Hall sits in fourth place with 1,658,000 in chips, while Chris "BigHuni" Hunichen is in sixth with 1,618,000.
