Hachem Confirms Good Fold

We arrived at Joe Hachem's table to see a flop of {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts} spread on the table with just over 1,000 chips in the middle. Hachem had made a bet of 1,425 from middle position with a player two seats to his left raising to 3,600.

Hachem thought for a while and made the fold, asking his opponent to "Show the bluff one time." Hachem's opponent slid his cards face-down to Hachem, who flipped them over showing {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Hachem said, "They beat kings" and gave the cards back to the dealer.

Now we're not in the business of giving lessons, but this reported certainly doesn't recommend showing a pro your cards after getting them to fold theirs. But then again, this reporter is just a reporter.
