Hachem Makes the Most of Jacks

Joe Hachem raised to 600 from under the gun. Action folded around to the button who reraised to 1,500. Hachem made the call and they went heads up to a flop of {9-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Hachem moved all in and got a quick call from the button. The players showed:

Hachem: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

The turn and river came the {7-Diamonds} and {3-Clubs} respectively. Hachem sent another player home and now works with about 9,500 chips.
