An Aussie Adventure

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem
We just picked up on a big hand in progress at the featured table. Jeff Lisandro opened the pot with a raise to 5,500 from early position, and the action came all the way around to Joe Hachem in the blinds. He three-bet it up to 17,000, Lisandro made the call, and it was heads up to the flop.

The dealer rolled out the first three cards, revealing {5-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. Hachem kept the heat on, continuing out with a healthy bet of 32,000. Lisandro moved all in, and Hachem quickly called all in for his own tournament life, pushing his remaining 43,100 chips into the middle.

Showdown
Lisandro: {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}
Hachem: {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

Hachem was sitting pretty for a double up with top pair, top kicker, and when the turn and river came {J-Diamonds} and {9-Spades}, he did just that. After that exchange, Hachem has climbed up to 190,000, moving Lisandro down around 60,000.
