Hachem With Aces
Nick Kiley opened from early position to 30,000. Everybody at the table folded to 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem in the small blind, who raised to 135,000. Kiley called, and a J♠2♣2♦ flop was revealed by the dealer.
On this first street, Hachem continued with a bet of 80,000. Then Kiley decided to raise to 180,000, and Hachem called to see the turn 7♥.
Hachem checked to let Kiley bet 250,000. But it was a trap as Hachem check-raised all in. Covered with almost 700,000 chips, Kiley snap called.
Nick Kiley: K♦J♦
Joe Hachem: A♠A♦
Kiley had a top pair with a very good kicker. But he couldn't do much against Hachem's aces, which held after the river Q♠. Kiley was eliminated on this hand, allowing Hachem to take the pot and increase his stack to 2,170,000 chips.
