Four Times the Fun for Hachem

On the last hand of the previous level, a player in the cutoff seat opened for a raise to 1,800, and Tony Hachem called all in for his last lonely 900 chips, yelling, "Allllll in!" loudly as he did so. The big blind reraised to 4,200, and Hachem started rubbing the shoulders of dealer Ronnie. After about a minute of tank time, the original raiser folded, and Hachem was heads up with a chance at a quadruple up.

The big blind turned up {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}, and Hachem had only looked at one card. He turned over his {A-Diamonds} and squeezed his other card slowly, but the dealer was already starting to run the board. It was {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} for Hash, and the flop came {5-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}. "All right, let's have a four!" Hachem said enthusiastically. The turn was a blank {J-Clubs}. The river, however, was indeed a {4-Spades}, and Hachem's come-from-behind straight earns him a chip boost from 900 all the way to a still-quite-short 3,600.
