Joe Hachem had a tough run in the EPT High-Roller Championship, going deep but falling just short of the money. Yesterday, he made back his money and then some, taking down the £2,000 + £150 8-Game Championship. The event had 60 entrants and Hachem won £42,400 for outlasting them all. Other notable players to take down preliminary events here at the London Poker Festival include Fabrice Soulier, who won the £1,000 + £100 pot-limit Omaha double chance event and Andreas Gulunay, who took down the £1,000 + £100 six-handed no-limit hold’em tourney.
