Joe Hachem - Out
Joe Hachem - Out
First into the pot, Joe Hachem moved all in for his last 117,000 little chips. The bet came around the table to Billy Kopp, and he messily flicked in the calling chips. Nobody else wanted any action, and it was heads up for Hachem's tournament life.

Showdown
Hachem: {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}
Kopp: {4-Clubs} {4-Spades}

The flop was a beautiful miss for Hachem as it rolled out {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {7-Spades}. A buzz of murmurs swept through the featured table arena as the realization kicked in that Hachem was live to any club, any king, or either of his own overcards. The turn was the {A-Hearts} which was a relative blank, but it did add another two outs for the at-risk World Champ. The crowd once again rose to life as the entire room seemed to be pulling for an out card to hit.

River: {3-Hearts}. Talk about a swing and a miss. Kopp's little pair of fours somehow held up to make the winning two pair. With that, the gregarious Joe Hachem shook hands with his table, wished them all luck, and made his way off to the interview booth.
