Happy Hach

Joe Hachem got it all in pre-flop holding a pocket pair of jacks against a pair of pocket sevens belonging to Jonathan Dwek. As the standard crowd of press and players flocked to the table, a nearby intoxicated railbird yelled out, "Throw a seven up there!"

Sure enough, the window card was the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

, followed by the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and

{4-Diamonds}

. A distraught Hachem turned his head away from the table for a moment but twisted back around in the nick of time to watch the dealer place the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

on the turn.

"Yeeeaaahhh!" Hachem exlaimed. "There's your seven ball!"

The river brought an inconsequential {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and Hachem doubled through to over 200,000 in chips.
