Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of A♦Q♦6♥A♣ with a large pot already in the middle, 2005 WSOP Main Event Champion Joe Hachem checked from middle position and his opponent on the button moved all in for a bit over 100,000. Hachem tanked a bit and then stuck in a call to put his opponent at risk.
Button: Q♠Q♥
Joe Hachem: A♠K♣
Hachem's hesitance was justified, as he found himself drawing slim to a higher full house against his opponent's queens-full.
Fortune favored Hachem this time, however, as the K♠ river improved him to aces-full and got tablemate Najeem Azez to shout, "The champ is here!" as Hachem was sent the large pot.
