"How can you check so many times?" a disappointed Joe Hachem asked his opponent. "How is that possible?" Hachem, sitting in the big blind, had called a late position raise to 3,000 with the remark, "Friends... for now." Both players checked the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

flop and the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

turn. Hachem checked a third time when the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

hit the river, then quickly called a bet of 4,100. His opponent turned over a pair of aces, {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

, a hand that Hachem beat with two pair, {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

.

"Well played," Hachem said as he collected the pot. "On the turn we play a big pot if you bet."
