World Champ vs. World Champ

[user38368]
[user38368]
Board:
{A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}

There are five limpers in this hand. On the flop, Jamie Gold checks. Hachem bets 2,600. Matt Sterling and Jamie Gold call.

On the turn, Hachem bets 11,200 and Gold raises to 39,000, putting Hachem all in. Hachem goes into the tank for about seven minutes and eventually calls, showing {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} to Gold's {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The river gives Hachem trips and puts him at 83,000. Gold is down to 75,000.

"You scared the bejeesus out of me, Jamie," says Hachem.
"I loved my hand -- a pair and a flush draw when I knew you had a weak ace," says Gold. "I thought you'd get off of it."
It's worth noting that Hachem's boys are behind him in support, including his brother, Tony Hachem.

Four players saw a flop, with Mike "The Mouth" Matusow in late position.

Flop: {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}

After it was checked around to Matusow, he made it 1,500 to go and one player called. The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and after his opponent checked, Matusow made it 4,000 to go and his opponent called. Both players checked the river and Matusow turned over {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. His opponent showed {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

"I was 100 percent sure he had a flush draw and I (checked the river) because I was sure I had the best hand," Matusow exclaimed after scooping up the chips.
