Hachem Takes Three-Quarters

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

Michael McKenna opened with a raise to 120,000 from early position and received calls from Nick Schulman in the small blind and Joe Hachem in the big blind. The flop came {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and all three players checked. The {7-Clubs} turn saw three more checks, bringing the river {5-Spades}.

Schulman bet 80,000 and Hachem raised to 400,000. McKenna asked to confirm Schulman's original bet before folding in a slightly reluctant manner. Schulman quickly called.

Hachem showed {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} and Schulman tabled {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}, both good for a share of the low. However, Hachem's jacks up were also good for the high as he took three-fourths of the pot while Schulman took the remaining quarter.

Brian Hastings
Brian Hastings

After winning a pot against Michael McKenna without showdown in the previous orbit, Brian Hastings limped to enter the pot from early position. Joe Hachem was on the button and also limped in. Denis Strebkov folded in the small blind and McKenna announced a raise of the pot to 225,000. Hastings called and Hachem deliberated before folding.

With action heads up, the flop came {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades} and McKenna checked. After asking to see McKenna's stack, it was Hastings' turn for a pot-sized bet of 525,000. McKenna folded and now finds himself under the one-million chip mark whereas Hastings has catapulted over two million with the winning of the pot.

Bryce Yockey
Bryce Yockey

Chris Vitch raised to 125,000 on the button and Bryce Yockey three-bet to 400,000 in the big blind, leaving himself with 380,000 behind. Vitch inquired how much Yockey had before four-bet shoving, and Yockey beat him into the pot with a call.

Bryce Yockey: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Chris Vitch: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

It was a dream hand for Yockey and an even dreamier flop of {4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, giving him a wheel right off the bat. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river the {8-Clubs} and Yockey doubled up.
