Pass the Sugar

Joe Hachem and two other players went to a flop of {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {3-Clubs}. All three men got their whole stacks into the middle with two cards to come. Hachem tabled {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}, and was up against a smaller set, {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}, and a double draw, {Q-Clubs} {8-Clubs}.

The turn and river ran safe for Hachem though, when they came {5-Hearts}, {2-Spades} respectively. Hachem, down a little bit early, has now tripled back into contention, standing at 6,900.
