Croc Turns the Nuts on Hachem

Hold'em:

Billy 'The Croc' Argyros opened with a raise to 1,600 from under the gun and Joe Hachem called from the button.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {10-Spades} and Argyros made a continuation bet of 800. Hachem then raised to 1,600 and The Croc made the call.

The {K-Diamonds} was the next card off the deck and Argyros moved all in for his last 1,475. Hachem made the call and tabled {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades} for top two pair, but Argyros' {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} was miles ahead. A blank on the river -- the {9-Hearts} -- locked up the hand for Argyros who moved to 10,000 in chips with the win.

Hachem, left with 9,000 in chips, said after the hand, "How good do I run? You call the raise just like that."
