Miracle for Hachem

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem
The flop was {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds} and the small blind bet 1,300 into Joe Hachem. Hachem raised all in for 5,600 and his opponent called. Hachem showed {J-Spades} {8-Diamonds} for top pair and thought it was good until his opponent turned over {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} for a set.

Hachem said, "I always make the wrong decision!" as he stood from his chair and looked disgusted with what was to come.

Hachem was just about to make his exit when the dealer slapped the {J-Spades} on the turn and then the {8-Spades} on the river, giving Hachem runner-runner full house.

Another player mentioned, "I just knew that was going to happen," as Hachem sat back down and gathered himself, relieved and in disbelief.
