Hachem Clipped

After being forced to fold on the river with the board reading {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Joe Hachem lost another pot back-to-back to see him slip to just above his starting stack.

After opening from early position to 200 and finding a caller in the big blind, Hachem fired 300 on the flop and 800 on the turn before checking behind on the river with the board reading {6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

With his opponent check-calling Hachem down, his {J-Spades}{8-Spades} would best Hachem's {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} when the cards were tabled on the river.
