A New Champion Will be Crowned
Livello 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With Chris Moneymaker recently making his way to the payout desk, Joe Hachem was the only previous WSOP Main Event champion still in the field. Hachem raised it up to 60,000 in early position and Mason Vieth three-bet to 180,000 from a couple of seats over. Hachem just called and the dealer fanned the flop of A♠10♦2♠.
Hachem checked to Vieth who continued with a bet of 200,000 and Hachem called. The turn brought the 5♣ and Hachem checked again. Vieth jammed all in and Hachem called off the rest of his chips of around 600,000.
Joe Hachem: AxQx
Mason Vieth: K♠J♠
Hachem was out front with the only pair but Vieth had a combo draw to look forward to. The river was the 8♠ and Vieth made his flush, sending Hachem out of the tournament on Day 5.
