BTW colson, you mentioned you were sitting at the table with Hachem for a while. How did you find him as a player? Were you surprised when he took it down? Did you play any pots with him?

Hachem seemed very solid. He was pretty short at the beginning of the day and doubled up when he flopped a set from the BB with 33 on a A83 board against AK. He then doubled up again against Scotland, when Scotland opened on his blind from the button. Flop was A73 with a flush draw, Hachem check raised the flop, Scotland pushed, and Hachem called with A9. A6 for Scotland. This was a pretty big pot, and I'm not sure if he'd play it the same against anyone else at the table. The turn was a 7, so Scotland had over half the deck for a chop. The river was a 4.

I didn't get into it with him much other than raising his blind a few times. He reraised me a couple times.

He opened in MP one hand with A3s, BB defended. Flop was AKQ, and I think the action went, check, bet, check raise, and Hachem pushed. BB had JT. I don't think he played this one well, but BB had shown to be a fan of big folds if he had to put his stack on the line, so I don't think it was that bad.
