Hachem Barely Hanging On
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
With around 19,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, the blinds checked to 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Joe Hachem, who fired out 15,100. Govert Metaal called from the small blind and the big blind got out of the way.
Both players checked the 
flop as well as the 
river. Hachem flipped over 
for the missed nut flush while Metaal revealed 
for a flopped set. Hachem dropped to 33,000 after the hand but could surely have lost them all had the hand played out differently.
