Hachem Flushed

We were unable to catch the action, but we ran over to find Joe Hachem shipping more than half his stack to an opponent.

Hachem had turned a set holding {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, but his opponent rivered a runner-runner flush to see Hachem clip to just on 18,000 in chips.

The next hand Hachem would chop a pot when his {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} would manage two-pair on a final board reading {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.
