Top Pair Good for Hachem
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The heads-up action was picked up with around 6,500 in the pot and a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
on the table.
Both players checked through the turn card, leading to the
river. Joe Hachem, in early position, fired for 4,000. After a minute or so of thought, his opponent, on the button, made the call. Hachem turned over ![]()
for top pair, and his opponent tossed his cards into the muck.
While it may not have been the Day 1 that the 2005 Main Event Champion had been hoping for, with his stack below where it started, he remains in the running.
