Hachem Can't Be Bluffed

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem
Just before the break, and with a board reading {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} 2005 WSOP Champion Joe Hachem was faced with a 5,000 chip decision as his opponent put him to the test. The pot was already in excess of 8,000 chips and the wrong decision would leave Hachem in trouble. In the end he looked down at his pocket jacks and made the call.

His opponent flipped over A-K and Hachem thumped the table in delight as his jacks were good to jump him into a comfortable position with over 25,000 chips.
