Joe Hachem Knocks Out Two

A short-stacked player moved in for his last 1,800 and Joe Hachem called. On the button Gary Beekman raised all in for his last 9,600 and Hachem called again, showing {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts} to Beekman's {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {2-Clubs} and the short-stacked player's {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades}.

The {2-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} flop gave Hachem a gutshot straight draw (this is called foreshadowing) and after the {4-Hearts} turned, Hachem spiked the {K-Diamonds} on the river to make Broadway and scoop the pot, eliminating the other two players and building his stack up to a robust 51,000.
