Good to Be Joe

Sitting under the gun, Joe Hachem opens the action with a pot raise. It folds around to Justin Bonomo in the big blind comes back with a pot-sized reraise, putting himself all in. Hachem makes the call.

Hachem: {K-Diamonds}

Bonomo:

As the dealer runs the board, Hachem pleads with him, "Can I make a straight or flush please?" The dealer obliges him, spreading out {6-Diamonds}

, improving Hachem to a straight on the river.

Standing nearby, Hachem's good mate Jim Sachinidis caught the action. "How blessed are you?" he asks. "Good to be Joe."

Not so good to be Justin Bonomo though. He is headed out just minutes before play ends for the day.
