Wasnt Hachem part of that WPT lawsuit? Was it dropped or was an agreement made or something?

[/ QUOTE ]

The lawsuit was not dropped but Hachem recently withdrew his name from it and is done with it.

Cardplayer at least needs to let us know how he was eliminated . . .

what is Hachem thinking with this limp-call UTG with effective stacks so small after the raise?

Rodriguez (673,000) BB
Hachem (1,900,000) UTG
Rahm (880,000) UTG+1


Blinds are 10k/20k with a 3k ante.

Hachem has 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hachem limps UTG (20k,) Rahm limps (20k,) all fold to Rodriguez in the BB who raises to 120k. Hachem calls, Rahm calls.

Flop (394k): 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Rodriguez goes all in for 500k, Hachem raises all in, Rahm folds.

Roriguez has A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and he does not boat up.

Hachem up to 2.8 mil


Rigged!

[A_C_Slater]

How deep should Rodriguez be to make the call? I'm guessing 900k. Maybe he knew the other guy would overcall thus making it about right.
