Hachem and Thorson Tangle

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We picked up the action on the flop as the dealer spread out {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {6-Spades}. Action was heads up, and Joe Hachem checked. William Thorson bet 3,100 only to see Hachem check-raise to 8,500, but the action wasn't dying there. Thorson reraised to 15,700, and Hachem popped it right back up to 29,500. Thorson flatted now, and the {8-Spades} landed on fourth street. Perhaps sensing something foul, Hachem checked, and Thorson settled on a bet of 41,000.

It would be some five minutes or so before Hachem reluctantly slipped his cards into the muck, and that pot will push Thorson into a big chip lead. He's got about 160,000 now, while Hachem has taken a big hit back down to about 71,000.
