Hachem Takes Hit

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem limped, as did Isaac Baron and the action folded to the big blind who checked his option.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and the action checked to Baron who fired out 30,000. The big blind folded and Hachem made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and Hachem checked to Baron who bet 65,000 chips into the middle. Hachem thought for a few moments before again making the call.

The river landed the {J-Spades} and Hachem checked the action for a third time and Baron fired a third bullet worth a hefty 155,000 chips. Hachem went into the tank for a long time, staring down his young opponent for any signs of weakness. Eventually Hachem laid down his hand as Baron had to bet on three streets to collect the nice pot.

Hachem still has over 500,000 in chips.
