Hachem Lets It Go
Level 29
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Joe Hachem opened to 325,000 with J♣J♥ in early position, and Jyrki Hilakari called holding 7♣7♥ on the button. Hun Wei Lee slid out a three-bet to 1,200,000 with A♣3♥ in the big blind, and Hachem counted out the call.
Hilakari let his hand go, and the dealer fanned out the 8♥8♣A♦ flop. Lee and Hachem both checked to the 3♠ turn.
Lee checked again, and Hachem also declined to bet. The Q♥ river saw Lee lead out for 650,000, and Hachem used a time bank card before sending his cards to the muck.
