Hachem Gets Respect

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem
On a flop of {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Joe Hachem leads out for 400 and is called by Chris Lee. The turn card is the {8-Clubs}. Hachem bets out 1,500 and Lee makes the call. The river is the {Q-Diamonds} and Hachem bets out 1,500 once more. Lee goes into the tank and eventually makes what looks like a painful call. Hachem has {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, but Lee shows {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a flopped set.

Hachem: "What did you think I had?"
Lee: "Aces!"

Raising the Stakes...

It has been overheard that David Saab and Adam Kagin have a "last longer" prop bet for this tournament. The loser of the bet will not only have to hand over a piece of their pride, but also 1,000 Korean Won (slightly more than one U.S. Dollar).
