Hachem Claims Another Victim

Minutes after changing tables, Tony Hachem became involved in a hand right away. He put an opponent all in preflop after the player raised from the button. Hachem was in the small blind and when the cards were turned up, Hachem's pocket pair of jacks were ahead against his opponent's {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts}.

The board ran out {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Spades} {J-Spades} {10-Spades} to give Hachem the win. When he realized that his opponent only had about 2,100 chips left, Hachem asked, "Where were all your 500 chips mate? I thought you had more."

Tony is looking good with slightly over 14,000 in his stack.
