Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

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}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

to Beekman's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

and the short-stacked player's {A-Diamonds}

{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}

{4-Hearts}

turned, Hachem spiked the {K-Diamonds}

{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.
