One time....

2005 WSOP Main Event Champ Joe Hachem has just doubled up through Mostafa Belkhayate of Morocco. Belkhayate opened with a big raise from middle position holding pocket jacks and when the action folded around to Hachem on the button, he moved in over the top for a total of 185,000. Mostafa made the call prompting Hachem to turn over his hand - pocket queens.

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and a relieved Hachem raked in the 370,000 pot - not a bad way to start the day!
