Stop -- Hammer Time!

Hachem not calling much at his table today.

Tony Hachem wants everyone to know that he's here to play some poker. He and one opponent both checked a flop of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

, Hachem fired out for 200 when the turn fell {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

. His opponent called. On the river {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

, Hachem fearlessly bet another 600 chips, folding his opponent.

"Yes!" cried Hachem. He joyously turned over his cards, revealing {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

-- the "Hammer", the worst starting hand in hold'em. He seemed quite pleased with himself as he raked in the pot, all the while staying loose courtesy of a table massage. Apparently the table massage is working. Hachem has hit a small rush, most recently turning a gutshot straight, to chip up to 8,500.
