Other Crap

"Australian Joseph Hachem prevailed in his first World Series of Poker Saturday, winning $7.5 million and snatching the game's greatest crown in the longest final table in the tournament's history." He won holding a 7-3! Despite that weak hand, he called a pre-flop raise and pulled a miraculous 4-5-6 on the flop, giving him a virtually undetectable straight. His opponent, not expecting somebody to match a pre-flop raise with a 7-3, never put Hachem on a straight, so he kept betting his ace, and made a big raise when he pulled a pair of aces on the turn. At that point Hachem sensed that he had hooked his fish, so he went all-in, and his opponent followed.
