Joe Hachem out

In a battle of the blinds, Leonid Cai raised to 5,700 before Joe Hachem popped it up to 35,000 from the big blind. Cai moved all in and covered Hachem, who made a quick call.

Cai: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

Hachem:

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

The flop was devastating for the 2005 World Champion as it fell {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

{6-Spades}

to pair Cai's ace. The turn was {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

to give Hachem additional flush outs, but the river missed him when the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

peeled off.

Hachem stood and departed the Crown Poker Room to a generous round of applause from the fans on the rail.
