Hachem Shows One

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante

Joe Hachem has a nemesis on his immediate right, and the two men tangled recently in a battle of the blinds. There was 11,500 in the pot when we walked up to see the small blind check the {10-Clubs} {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} flop. Hachem bet 8,500, and his opponent clicked it back to 17,000 only to see Hachem move all in over the top. The small blind had about 40,000 chips left, and he spent a long few minutes in the tank.

"If you wanna fold and you're curious what I have," Hachem said at one point, "I'll let you pick one card."

After another couple minutes, his opponent folded, and Hachem flashed the {K-Spades} on command. "Was it a good fold?" he asked.

Hachem is right at 100,000 now.
