Joe Hachem

Liem Tran opened from middle position with a raise to 1,700 and the cutoff seat called. Joe Hachem was on the button and reraised all in for 9,500. Tran made the call and then the cutoff seat folded.

Hachem was racing for his tournament when he revealed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

to Tran's

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

.

The flop gave Hachem a pair of aces, but it wasn't the best of flops: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

. Tran picked up a flush draw despite falling behind in the hand.

The turn was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

and now both players had straight draws. The river card was the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

, hitting the flush for Tran and sending Hachem to the rail.

"Good luck guys." said Hachem as he quickly stood from his chair and jetted out of the room.
