Hand 25
25. Joe Hachem raises to $150,000 and Mads Andersen reraises to $415,000. Hachem makes the call and the flop comes J102. Hachem checks and Andersen bets $450,000. Hachem calls and the turn is the 5. Hachem checks again and Andersen checks. The river is the Q and Andersen bets $800,000. Hachem immediately calls and shows Q-J for two pair. Andersen folds and Hachem wins the pot.

No...given the way the hand played, what does Andersen call a push with that doesn't beat QJ?

respectfully disagree. the guy's pot committed I think. If he has even a pair he has to call an all in. This hand struck me the same way. I know Hachem hates to play big pots...especially against inferior players. I'm guessing he was concerned about a trapping set and played it safe but I think he missed out on $700K.
