The Hachem Brothers

So far, things have been going better for Tony Hachem than for his brother Joe. Tony has built his stack up to 55,000 over a series of hands.

On his latest hand, Tony called a big river bet by Raymond Walker with two pair. "I was worried about a backdoor flush or even a higher two pair," said Tony after he won the hand. "You can understand why it was such a hard call."

A few tables down and in the same row, Tony's brother Joe hasn't managed to get anything going and been floating around 15,000 to 20,000 throughout the day. It seems to be the norm that when Joe raises a pot, everyone folds and allows him to only take the blinds and antes. Despite the lack of action, Joe seems keen on sitting patiently and waiting for good hands or good spots to gather chips.
