Joe Hachem Eliminated in 2nd Place ($300,000)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Joe Hachem- 2nd place

On what turned out to be the last hand of the night, Victor Ramdin raised o 250,000 from the button only to have Joe Hachem move all in. Ramdin quickly called and the cards were revealed:

Hachem: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Ramdin: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Hachem was in a dominate position and in great shape to double. That all changed when the flop came down {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and gave Ramdin top two pair. Hachem's face dropped with disappointment. The dealer proceeded to burn and turn the {10-Spades}, which gave Hachem some extra outs.

"Queen ball, baby," Hachem pleaded. Unfortunately for the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event Champ it was not meant to be as the {2-Hearts} peeled off. He was eliminated from The Big Event just one place shy of the title.
