Hachem Out

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem
On a flop of {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, Cole South bet 30,000, Josh Arieh called, Joe Hachem raised all in with his last 44,000, South called, and Arieh called as well.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds}, and South pushed the rest of his chips in the middle, prompting Arieh to fold. South showed {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{A-Spades} for kings full. Hachem turned over {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Only the {5-Diamonds}, bringing a straight flush, could save him.

The river was a five, but the wrong one -- the {5-Spades} -- and Hachem was done.

Can We Stop at the Turn?

Another tough river card for Wahlroos.

With the board showing {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, David Williams got the rest of his chips in the middle and Thomas Wahlroos made the call. Williams showed {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the straight draw, while Wahlroos had {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for a set of tens.

The river brought the {2-Diamonds}, giving Williams his straight. He's up to 78,000, while Wahlroos has fallen to 40,000.

Joshua Ladines Doubles through David Benyamine

On a flop of {J-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, David Benyamine checked, Joshua Ladines bet 11,000, Benyamine raised to 40,000, Ladines moved all in for 104,000 and Benyamine called.

Ladines {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

Benyamine {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

Ladines flopped top pair, a straight draw and the second nut flush draw while Benyamine had the nut flush draw and middle pair. The turn was the {9-Spades}, making Ladines' straight, and the river was the {6-Clubs}. Ladines doubled through Benyamine with his jack-high straight and increased his stack to 220,000. Benyamine is now down to 138,000, losing more than half his stack inside the first hour of play.
