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 {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} on the table.

Both players checked through the turn card, leading to the {8-Clubs} 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 {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} 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.
