Hachem's Opponent Zigs Instead of Zagging
All players checked the turn. When the river fell , the big blind led out for 2,500. Her bet folded the preflop aggressor, but not Hachem. He raised to 8,000.
"You've got it this time, don't you?" Hachem's opponent asked.
"You can make a great call," responded Hachem.
"I'm actually quite strong," she countered, perhaps implying that she didn't need to make a great call.
"Then calling might not be a bad mistake," were the last words uttered by Hachem before his opponent called. She mucked when Hachem turned over the nuts, , to climb to 76,000.
