Nice Read

After a {5-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {3-Spades}, flop the player in the small blind checked and Joe Hachem bet 3,500. The small blind then check-raised to 8,800 and Hachem went into the tank for several minutes. He finally decided to bet enough to set his opponent all in, which was for about 80 percent of his remaining stack. The other player open-mucked his {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and Hachem showed {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs}. He pointed to his kicker and said that's what took him so long to decide. He's now up to 44,000.
