One for the Good Guys

[user75032]

Someone bring Tony Hachem a white hat.

It's getting hard to keep up with the action. An all in and a call brought us scurrying to Tony Hachem's table, where his {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

were trying to eliminate a short stack, who tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

.

"I've got your tens," Hachem told Young Phan. "They've gotta hold up."

The dealer produced the perfect drama flop, {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

. Hachem made a set of tens but had to fade his opponent's flush draw.

"What a flop!" said Phan with a laugh.

The turn and river were both small clubs, {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

and

{4-Clubs}

, giving Hachem the pot and the elimination.

"One for the good guys," said Hachem as he stacked up 53,000 chips.
