We caught up to this hand on the turn. The board read Q-T-4-4. With a decent amount of chips already in the pot, Alex Fitzgerald pushed his remaining stack of 12,950 across the line. Hachem, who had Fitzgerald well covered, made the call. The players showed:

on the river which was no help to Hachem who is now down to 15,000 chips. Fitzgerald is back in the mix with about 34,000.
