Hand 179 - Joseph Hachem has the button in seat 1, he limps for $240,000, Barch limps, Kanter raises to $1,240,000, and Hachem says, "All in."

Tex Barch folds to get out of the way, and he and Kanter both stand up. It's nearly $5 million more to Kanter. He thinks for a short while, and then makes the call. Hachem shows Qd-7d, and Kanter has pocket nines (9s-9d).

The flop comes Qh-8c-2h, and Hachem takes the lead with a pair of queens. Kanter is in trouble, and needs to catch a nine or a runner-runner straight to eliminate Hachem.

The turn card is the Ah, and Kanter needs to catch a nine (2 outs) to win the hand.

The river card is the 2c, and Joseph Hachem survives to double up in chips. His crowd of supporters is psyched, starting up with their cheer of "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oy! Oy! Oy!"
