No Sweat for Hachem

Life is pretty good right now for former Main Event champion Joe Hachem. He was sitting in the cutoff in a recent hand and three-bet to 1,525 after a middle-position player opened for a raise. That player then four-bet to 3,8000. Hachem made the call to a flop of {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Hachem's opponent led out for another 3,800, then was faced with a big decision when Hachem raised all in for 11,300 total. The player thought through his decision for quite a while before finally calling with {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. Hachem had that hand easily beat with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. The turn and river blanked out {9-Clubs} and {8-Clubs} to ship the double-up to Hachem. He's up to 33,500.
