Hachem Hits the Rail

That'll do it for Joe Hachem. After losing the last pot to John Juanda's ace-king, Hachem moved all in and was called. "I know I have the best hand this time," said Hachem. He was correct; his {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} was ahead of Juanda's {A-Spades} {2-Hearts}. But a deuce on the flop and a deuce on the turn put a stake through Hachem's tournament life. He is the first player eliminated from the Spades Bracket.
