The Champ Busts Two

Joe Hachem just took out a player holding {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} and another player holding pocket fours with his {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. According to Joe, he limped under the gun as did the button. The small blind then moved in for 3,400 with the fours, and the big blind called with {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. Hachem also called the extra 3,000.

Hachem then said the flop contained two jacks with two clubs as well. The big blind checked as did Hachem.

The turn was a king and the big blind moved all in. Hachem made the call with his three jacks. When the river fell a blank ace, Hachem was able to eliminate both players in the hand and increase to 25,000 chips.
