Joe Hachem plays in my Priv Tourney

[ckingriches]

That's cool that you got him to play in your tourney and disappointing that he went out so early. Might be the tiny prize pool that kept him from giving up a relatively marginal hand and let him move on to something more profitable.

Joe usually seems like a great guy, but a year or two ago in the main event, ESPN producers made him look like a real jerk. He acted like he was pissed of at every opponent who dared to play, much less win, a hand against him. It was a little painful to watch, almost as if he and Helmuth had a temporary personality exchange.

yeah ive met joe hachem over here at crown in melbourne. class bloke, shook hands with all who approached him, always had a smile on his face.

either that or he's fulfilling his job as ambassador of crown. haha.

It was really cool that you got a guy of Joe's stature in your private tourney. Relish that fact and don't blame your buddy for winning with the best hand. Think what would you have done in the same spot.

I'm sure that Hachem is in the top 3 poker players of the world this time. I could see him a few times in tourny and cash game. Unbelievable.
If sy wants to study poker, watch him.

Haven't seen him play cash games, but seems like a very good tourney player.

For your information the best 3 poker players come from finland:
1. Patrik Antonious
2. Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies
3. Me :joyman:

I guess you just don't know how hard it is to wake up in the morning and see the next world champion in the mirror...

I agree with Ecomdan, I doubt he took this game very serious. He probably wanted the other player to feel good about himself and have a good story to tell.

You're welcome. It seems that I may have to promote myself on the list if Zigmund doesn't deserve to be number two
