The Champ Hits the Mat

[user66118]

Joe Hachem - Outta Here

With just around 3,600 chips left, Joe Hachem looked down at {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

in middle position and moved all in first into the pot. The bet folded around to the big blind where Adham Homsi instantly called with his big stack, turning over {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

.

Hachem found an ace on the flop, but it was not much help as the dealer spread {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

. Hachem stood from his chair and said, "Good luck boys. Best of luck, I had a great time. Good luck to you all." The turn and river came {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

and

{9-Diamonds}

respectively, and the man affectionately referred to around here as simply "The Champ" has bowed out of Day 1.
