A Blind Confrontation

In a battle of the blinds, Dan Sing limped in and Tony Hachem saw a free flop. It showed up {8-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, and both men checked. Fourth street was the {6-Clubs}, and Sing again passed. Hachem seized control, moving all in for about 50,000. Before his chips had even made an impression in the felt, Sing insta-called, turning over {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts}. Hachem was in trouble, showing down {8-Spades} {6-Hearts}.

Lightning struck on the river though, as Hachem found one of his four outs, the {6-Diamonds}. His six-eight turned into sixes full of eights, and he doubles up to right near 100,000. Sing has been knocked back to 70,000.
