Come on Hachem... 3 final tables and 3 bad beats each time in the last 4 months or so. will he get another bad beat today?

FWIW, Hachem could become the first player ever to win two tournaments with a $2 Million+ first prize.

And assuming either Hachem or Negreanu wins, the winner will be 2nd on the all-time money list, and the runner-up 3rd. The winner will also become the second player ever to crack the $10 Million mark in lifetime tournament earnings (using Hendon Mob's numbers).

Although how can you not root for negreanu... what a player!

Hachem over $10M? Wow what a year and 3 months.

Where's Jamie Gold btw? Loser.

I'd have thought the prize money would have been higher than that but thinking about it makes sense. I don't think we have seen the best of hachem just yet, imagine how much he has learnt in the past year.

shouldn't have hachem pushed his two pair here?

Tue Dec 19 18:27:00 PST 2006
Hand 25
25. Joe Hachem raises to $150,000 and Mads Andersen reraises to $415,000. Hachem makes the call and the flop comes J102. Hachem checks and Andersen bets $450,000. Hachem calls and the turn is the 5. Hachem checks again and Andersen checks. The river is the Q and Andersen bets $800,000. Hachem immediately calls and shows Q-J for two pair. Andersen folds and Hachem wins the pot.

No...given the way the hand played, what does Andersen call a push with that doesn't beat QJ?
