Abecassis Doubles Through Hachem

Joe Hachem can't believe his luck
Joe Hachem can't believe his luck

Joe Hachem opened to 8,500 only to have short stacked Michel Abecassis three-bet to 31,500. Hachem called and the flop fell {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

Abecassis moved all in for his last 19,000 and Hachem called to find that he was drawing slim.

Abecassis: {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Hachem: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The turn and river were the {3-Diamonds} and the {Q-Diamonds}, causing Hachem's hand to hit the muck and Abecassis' straight to earn him a double up.
