Hachem Fights Back

Manny Stavropoulos and Joe Hachem saw a heads up flop of {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Stavropoulos led from under the gun for 1,300 and Hachem made the call.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and Stavropoulos checked to Hachem who fired 2,500. Stavropoulos then check-raised to 5,500 putting the pressure back on Hachem.

Hachem thought for a moment before announcing he was all in. Hachem covered Stavropoulos who went into the tank for an eternity before eventually finding a fold.

Stavropoulos is down to 13,500 with Hachem now up to 50,000.
