Hachem Chips Up
Johnny Chan opened to 5,000 in early position, and Jen Harman called from the cutoff. It folded to Joe Hachem in the big blind, who paused a minute before making it 20,000 to go. Chan flatted the three-bet, and Harman folded, dropping under 50,000.
The flop fell . Hachem bet out 28,500, and Chan couldn't call it. Scooping this one, Hachem moved up to 140,000. Chan slid to 130,000, giving Hachem the second spot in the counts.
