Hachem Backdoors Broadway to Triple Up

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

Joe Hachem was down to his last 2,000 chips and the {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop was already out when we got to the table. The button had moved all-in for 1,500, the small blind raised, and Hachem committed his last chips from the hijack.

Joe Hachem: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Button: {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Small blind: {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

The button had the lead with two pair, and while Hachem was the only one with the nut-low draw, he needed help from the deck to win. The {J-Clubs} on the turn gave him some additional equity in the form of a gutshot Broadway draw and the {Q-Hearts} river completed it, so he took the pot to triple up.
