Joe Hachem, still in search of that elusive Aussie Millions titleStud:
Joe Hachem was all in for his last chips on fifth street in a hand against Alexander Kostritsyn.
Hachem: ()
Kostritsyn: ()
Hachem jumped from his chair yelling, "One time!" apparently in annoyance at Kostritsyn improving to a better two pair. Hachem would need some help but he caught running sevens.
Razz rarely stimulates the imagination, but one of the final hands of razz round was a little intriguing between Joe Hachem and Jeff Madsen.
Hachem was showing and Madsen as Madsen's river card was accidentally dealt face-up. After some discussion with floor staff, play continued with Madsen playing it face-up.
Hachem checked and Madsen bet 5,000. Hachem called but Madsen revealed for an eight low, which Hachem could not better.
