wasn't hachem a moneymaker type story?

Hachem was a PPP, wasn't he? The guy plunked down the $10k to enter the Main Event. He was a chiropractor and then switched to being a financial consultant. Not quite the same "everyman" or "average Joe" appeal as Moneymaker, IMO. Dannenman had more of the average guy appeal in that final, I think, even though he too was a consultant. Clearly a subjective call and room for disagreement here. Just don't think either of them was the gift that CM was.
