Joe Hachem played aces as softly as you'll ever see. He was in middle position and called a raise to 250 from the under-the-gun player. It was also called by two other players. Everyone checked on the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Spades}

flop. When the turn card fell {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

, the preflop raiser bet 550. Only Hachem called.

The river was the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

. Hachem's opponent bet 800, and again Hachem made the call. His {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

flopped the nut flush draw, then made a running two pair to take out his opponent's {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

top two pair.
