Hachem Busts, Bain Takes The Lead

Joe Hachem has just been knocked out. We did not catch the action, but Tristan Bain was more than happy to tell us what went down.

On a {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop Hachem and Bain went at it. After a raising war Hachem shoved all in, and Bain called with {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Hachem showed {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, and hit his flush on the {Q-Clubs} turn. It wasn't over yet, because Bain took the pot when the {4-Diamonds} gave him a full house.

Bain was the first player to reach 200,000, and while Hachem's no longer in the running for the first place prize of A$172,500 all eyes will be on Bain.
