Hachem's Book

We pick up the action on the flop in a three-way pot between Joe Hachem, Roy Vandersluis, and George Youssef. The board shows {2-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

Youssef leads out into the pot with a bet of 700, and both Hachem and Vandersluis call.

The turn comes the {10-Diamonds}, and Youssef continues out once more, this time with 1,000 chips. Hachem bumps it up to 3,500, prompting Vandersluis to fold. Youssef calls though, coming along to the river.

The last card off is the {9-Diamonds}. Youssef checks, allowing Hachem to bet 7,000, which he calls. Hachem tables {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} for a book. Youssef mucks, meaning Hachem's threes full of nines is the winner, and he moves his way up to 27,000.
