Hachem No Ali

Joe Hachem Down To 15,000
Joe Hachem Down To 15,000
Gursel Ali raised to 600 before Joe Hachem popped it up to 1,500. Ali made the call and they saw a {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Ali checked to Hachem in position who fired out 1,625. Ali then check-raised to 4,125 but Hachem was having none of it as he put in another raise - a small one to 6,625.

Ali thought for a moment before moving all in. Hachem was sent into the tank but after a bet, raise and reraise, he decided to let it go as he falls to 15,000 with Ali now up to 57,000.
