Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

It was a battle of two different kinds of poker stars as PokerStars.net qualifier Ivan Zalac raised to 800 from under the gun and PokerStars Team Pro Joe Hachem made the call from the small blind.

Flop: {8-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

On the flop, Hachem check-raised his opponent to around 2,900 and Zalac instantly called to see the {7-Spades} fall on the turn.

Hachem would lead this time, with a 8,300-chip bet sent his opponent's way. At this point Zalac moved all in for over 20,00 and sent Hachem into the tank.

Hachem eventually folded and as his opponent raked in the chips Hachem said he folded a set of threes. Zalac then told Hachem that he had the nut flush. The two then continued with some friendly banter as the pro had no hard feelings towards the qualifier.
