Drama-Filled Hand Sends Tony Hachem Home

Tony made it 4,200 to go from middle position and an unknown player to his left reraised enough to put Tony all-in. Tony made the call and flipped over {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}, while his opponent showed a pocket pair of 10's.

Tony clapped his hands before the flop, saying "C'mon King!" and got his wish when the doorcard was the {K-Diamonds}; the rest of the flop came {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, giving Hachem top two pair.

The turn brought the {A-Hearts}, leaving Hachem to sweat one last card. One of the many spectators watching the hand said, "Finish it off with a King, Tony!"

The rail erupted and then went immediately silent as the last card to fall off the deck was the {10-Clubs}.

Hachem graciously shook his opponent's hand and wished him luck before taking a seat at a nearby table to sweat his friend Kevin O'Donnell.
