"You Better Run, You Better Take Cover"

Catching the action on the flop of {7-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs}, we found 2005 World Champion Joe Hachem leading out with a 15,600-chip bet from the small blind.

Ben Lamb was contemplating a decision, and after eyeing up Hachem's remaining 30,000, Lamb slid out a raise to put Hachem all in. The Australian made the call for his tournament life as the cards were placed on their backs.

Hachem: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Lamb: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

With Hachem in great shape to double through against Lamb's gutshot draw and top pair, the {2-Clubs} and {10-Clubs} on the turn and river would see Lamb spike a runner-runner flush to send Hachem to the rail.

"C'mon!" sighed Hachem as the dealer dropped the unfortunate club-ball river. He stayed seated for nearly a minute, before saying his farewells and vacating the tournament floor as Lamb moves to 195,000 in chips.

Roberts Clips Parker

Brock Parker opened to 5,000 and Brian Roberts made the call from the button to see a {Q-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop fall.

Both players checked before the {2-Spades} landed on the turn and Parker fired out a delayed continuation-bet of 8,500. Roberts made the call, and when the {J-Hearts} landed on the turn, he pushed out a 10,400-chip bet once Parker checked.

Pausing for a few moments, Parker opted to kick his cards to the muck while slipping to 140,000 as Parker collected the pot to move to 120,000 in chips.
