With a limp before him, Joe Hachem made it 1,200 to go. He found one caller before Adham Homsi announced, "I'm only playing, because I want to play a pot with you" and threw in the chips to make the call from the big blind.

Homsi checked the {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop to see Hachem fire 5,200. One opponent passed, but Homsi made the call before both players checked the turn of the {3-Diamonds}.

When the river landed the {8-Spades} Homsi slid in a stack of black 1,000-denomination chips amounting to a bet of 17,000 to effectively put Hachem all in.

Hachem sat there shaking his head before eventually mucking in disgust.

"I said I wanted to play a pot with you" commented Homsi once again as he flashed the {J-Clubs} while raking in the pot to climb to 99,000 as Hachem slipped to 11,300 in chips.
