Hachem Chopped Up

Stud 8/b:

We pick up the hand on fifth street with three-handed action.

Argyros: (X-X) {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {5-Clubs}
Obst: (X-X) {3-Hearts} {7-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Hachem: (X-X) {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

On fifth, Billy Argryos leads out with a bet, and both Obst and Hachem call.

On sixth street, Obst picks up a pair on board with the {7-Clubs}. He checks, and Hachem bets his {6-Spades}. Argyros picks up the {8-Clubs}, and he raises. Obst calls, and Hachem tanks for a minute before calling as well.

On seventh street, all three men check. The hands are shown down:

Argyros: {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {8-Clubs} ({Q-Clubs} {2-Spades} {8-Diamonds})
Obst: {3-Hearts} {7-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} ({10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {8-?})
Hachem: {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} ({J-Hearts} {J-Spades} {Q-Hearts})

Obst wins the high half with his two pair, tens over sevens. Argyros wins the low half with the eighty-five low, and Hachem is left with just 2,900 chips.
