Manny More Chips for Stavropoulos

An Unhappy Hachem
An Unhappy Hachem
Over on the Table of Death, we pick up a hand before the flop. Action is on Manny Stavropoulos in middle position. He goes into the tank, and Joe Hachem started talking from across the table.

"If you raise, you know I'm going to re-raise," he prodded.

"All right then, I'm all in," said Stavropoulos, moving his last 12,000 chips into the middle.

Action folded around to Hachem, and he did indeed look Stavropoulos up, putting in a covering call.

Showdown:
Stavropoulos: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}
Hachem: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Hachem was less than pleased with the situation, seeming genuinely upset with his plight. Much to his chagrin, the dealer ran out the board: {10-Spades} {7-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {K-Clubs} {2-Clubs}.

Despite picking up a straight draw on the flop and a pair on the turn, Hachem failed to get over the hump, and he sends a double-up over to Manny Stavropoulos.
