Suck, Re-Suck for Tony Hachem

Rivered!
Rivered!
Brian Lemke opened the pot with a raise to 2,600 from the cutoff and Tony Hachem made it 7,200 from the button.

A short-stacked player in the small blind then moved all in for his last 20,600 to prompt a fold from Lemke. Hachem eventually made the call.

Hachem: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The flop of {3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Spades} thrust Hachem into the lead, and when the turn dropped the {4-Clubs} it seemed as though Hachem had one hand on the chips in the middle.

However, when the river fell the two-outer {K-Hearts}, Hachem's opponent spiked the river to stay alive as Hachem slipped to 155,000 in chips.
