Don't Ask Why

Shamus

After losing that hand to Mark Vos, a short-stacked Joe Hachem got his last 3,000 or so in with 8-7-6-6 on a flop of {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

. His opponent showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

-x-x.

The turn {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

and river

{5-Spades}

gave Hachem's opponent a runner-runner flush, and Hachem was done.

"Why do I get punished like this?" asked Hachem as he got up. "How bad can you run, Joe?" chimed Eli Elezra from a nearby table.
