BOOM!!! Bloom and Hachem out same hand!!!

UTG raises to 2400, Tony Bloom in the cutoff pushes all-in for around 10k, Tony Hachem on button thinks about it for awhile before announcing he's all-in for around 12-14k. Gary Benson in the BB immediately calls. UTG folds.

Bloom turns over {A-Spades} {9-Spades}, Hachem has pocket Q's and Benson has pocket K's! Hachem says he's been running into monster hands all day. As the dealer turns over the flop, the first card is a Q and Hachem is jumping up and down until he sees the next card which is a K!!! The board read something like Q-K-9-5-6 and in one hand, 2 players are knocked out by the chip leader.

Gary now has around 87000, nearly 4 times the average stack!
