The Younger Hachem on the Rise
While the "Hachem" name is well-known around the world after Joe Hachem captured the 2005 WSOP Main Event title, it is not him making noise at the 2019 World Series of Poker. His son, Daniel, has been playing poker for a few years now and is starting to run up a stack in the Main Event as he hopes to follow in his father's footsteps.
Adam Dipasquale opened to 18,000 in middle position and Daniel Hachem three-bet to 45,000 in the hijack. The action folded back to Dipasquale who made the call. The flop fell

on the river. Dipasquale checked again and Hachem dropped in a bet of 75,000. Dipasquale thought it over but decided to send his cards to the muck.
