Re: Was Hachem being unethical?
How many chips does Watkinson have here?
Pescatori's range is obviously huge, from Watkinson's POV Hachem can easily be on an isolation push with AT+/99+ or the like (though the little I know of Hachem tells me he's fairly tight in tournaments), in Watkinson's mind does Hachem egging him on to fold make such a move more likely or less likely? The way the hand played out, it seems to be the latter, though I don't think we can assume that that was Hachem's intent.
In any case, I have a hard time calling foul on this.
EDIT: I agree with El D. that there is cause for concern if Hachem's actions were somehow done for Watkinson specifically. But there is no evidence to support such a conclusion.
