The Champ Hits the Mat

Joe Hachem - Outta Here
Joe Hachem - Outta Here
With just around 3,600 chips left, Joe Hachem looked down at {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} in middle position and moved all in first into the pot. The bet folded around to the big blind where Adham Homsi instantly called with his big stack, turning over {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}.

Hachem found an ace on the flop, but it was not much help as the dealer spread {4-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}. Hachem stood from his chair and said, "Good luck boys. Best of luck, I had a great time. Good luck to you all." The turn and river came {5-Diamonds} and {9-Diamonds} respectively, and the man affectionately referred to around here as simply "The Champ" has bowed out of Day 1.
