Hachem Takes a Hit

Joe Hachem was in middle position when he bet 5,725 into a board reading {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. His opponent went all in for a total of 16,100 and Hachem went into the tank.

After thinking for a while, Hachem said, "I'm not Hollywooding, boys. Either you got a full house or you're bluffing."

Eventually, Hachem said he "couldn't fold" and made the call. Much to his dismay his opponent tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Hachem mucked and after doubling up his opponent, he is down to 9,000.
