"You Better Run, You Better Take Cover"

Catching the action on the flop of {7-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs}, we found 2005 World Champion Joe Hachem leading out with a 15,600-chip bet from the small blind.

Ben Lamb was contemplating a decision, and after eyeing up Hachem's remaining 30,000, Lamb slid out a raise to put Hachem all in. The Australian made the call for his tournament life as the cards were placed on their backs.

Hachem: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Lamb: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

With Hachem in great shape to double through against Lamb's gutshot draw and top pair, the {2-Clubs} and {10-Clubs} on the turn and river would see Lamb spike a runner-runner flush to send Hachem to the rail.

"C'mon!" sighed Hachem as the dealer dropped the unfortunate club-ball river. He stayed seated for nearly a minute, before saying his farewells and vacating the tournament floor as Lamb moves to 195,000 in chips.
