Hachem Spikes an Ace to Eliminate Xu
Level 20
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Joe Hachem opened to 200,000 from under the gun and it was folded to Xin Xu, who moved all in for 1,700,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Hachem and he quickly put calling chips into the middle.
Xin Xu: Q♥Q♦
Joe Hachem: A♥Q♠
Xu was looking to hold, but the K♥A♣4♦ flop paired Hachem's ace and left Xu drawing to one immediate out.
No miracle came on the 7♣ turn nor 10♦ river and Xu was forced to surrender his chips over to Hachem.
