Set Over Set Puts a Hurting on Hachem

[user75032]

Tony Hachem, the brother of Australia's most famous poker player, 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem, has lost three-quarters of his stack to Brendan Edmonds. Hachem limped into a pot from middle position before Edmonds raised to 400. The button called the raise, as did Hachem, with the three players taking a flop of {7-Clubs}

. Hachem checked to Edmonds, who made a half-pot bet of 600. The button and Hachem both called.

The turn came {J-Diamonds}

. Again Hachem checked to Edmonds, who fired out for 1,200. That folded the button but brought a call from Hachem. He led out for 3,200 on the {9-Spades}
