"The Champ is Here!"

In the $5K Challenge, heads-up on a board of AQ6A 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: QQAll in
Joe Hachem: AK

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.
