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.

Hachem busts Negreanu. Hachem raises on button with 44, Negreanu moves in with KT from SB, Hanna supposedly folds TT in BB, Hachem eventually calls. Board bricks for Negreanu.

Hanna-Hachem Heads-Up

9.5m-8m

80k/160k/15k blinds-antes

With his $592k cash, Negreanu becomes the leading WPT money winner of all time, overtaking Tuan Le.

Hachem 13.5 Million, Hanna 4 Milion

[chicken10der]

Hachem now has over a 3:1 chip lead after 6 hands of heads up play.

13.4m - 4m

Hachem raises to $450,000 and Hanna raises an additional $900,000. Hachem thinks for a few moments before making the call. The flop comes 965 and Hanna bets $3,000,000. Hachem moves all in and Hanna thinks for several quiet minutes before folding his hand. Hachem rakes a huge pot.
