{J-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

{J-Spades}

, Hachem led out, and his opponent called. The turn brought the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

and Hachem made an 800 bet that was also called. The {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

fell on the river, Hachem bet 1,400 and after a moment's pause his opponent min-raised. Looking mildly pained throughout the hand, Hachem made the call and his opponent showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Spades}

for the ace-high flush. Hachem mucked, and he's now down to about half of his original starting stack.
