2) The whole table had a side bet going that if you won with 72 and showed, everyone at the table would give you $100. Since everyone was playing 72 everytime they got it

we played this at our home game for a few weeks. creates a great table vibe, makes people play stupid and is overall awesome for the game.

At my home game, everyone plays 85 like it's the nuts no matter the board. This is particularly true preflop. It really does add to making the game great. And whenever the board comes 885 in a re-raised pot, there is an extra tension...

Lets say hachem saw what esfandiari had in his hand.. Wouldn't he not bet whole lot because it might look like a bluff. But a small valuebet looking bet, like he did. Everybody critizes his play but in my mind it was pretty good agaist esfandiaris hand.. antonio just made a nice call.

i was thinking the exact same as silverlining1.

hachem seems to keep firing in the hope esfandieri will fold, not putting him on a hand and deciding the best course of action.

I was playing at the table during this hand. Two clarifications that should be made are:

1) The game was actually $25 ante, $50 BB (only one $50 blind with a $25 ante, which plays much bigger than 10-25.. or 25/50 for that matter)

2) The whole table had a side bet going that if you won with 72 and showed, everyone at the table would give you $100. Since everyone was playing 72 everytime they got it, you could see how this would factor in slightly in a hand with a 722 flop.

I have never been a huge fan of Antonio, but I must give him credit for those calls.

Hachem won about $22k off some guy about an hour later with AA vs KK all in preflop.. so he made it back in short order. Hachem, is a real nice guy. In fact he bought a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue for the table.

The table also included at different times; Kenna James, Mike Gracz, and Johnny Chan.

I'm proud to say I won my 72 side bet vs. Chan and Hachem... My highlight of the night/trip.

Thank you. This clarifies the entire hand.

Hachem is repping 72. Antonio can only beat a bluff, but knows Hachem is probably trying to rep 72 and makes two great calls.

This hand is funny and proves two things to me.

1. You don't have to be a poker god to win the WSOP (duh).

2. Cash games are different than donkaments.

$100 per head is way too small for the (72) bounty in such a big game. That and people usually raise PF with the bounty. Hard to put Hachem on 72 if he didn't raise or reraise. What was his position?
