World Champ vs. World Champ

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.
