Default Joe Hachem hand from Main Event

I didn't realize it until I saw his picture after he won, but it turns out that I played at my first table with Joe Hachem. We chatted a bit prior to the tourney and after our table broke we ended up at tables next to each other across the room and talked during each break. Very nice guy and seemed at the time to me to be a pretty strong player.

Anyway, he played a hand at our first table that was noteworthy. I was in the 10 seat and he was in the 1 seat. Table seemed very unremarkable except for the guy in the 9 seat, who appeared very nervous and completely out of his element. In the first couple of orbits he acted out of turn twice, and then lost a few chips to me in a battle of the blinds when he played AQ way too slowly and let me catch running cards for a flush.

So the hand in question begins on the third orbit or so, Hachem raises to 200 from UTG and gets called by the CO and the 9 seat in the SB while I fold my BB.

Flop comes AK3r. SB checks, Hachem bets out 500, CO folds and the SB thinks for a bit and calls.

Turn is a Q, putting a flush draw on the board. SB shakily grabs a 1k chip and tosses it into the pot. Hachem glares at him for 30 seconds or so, then raises to 3000. SB fiddles with his chips for a while and calls.

Turn is a 9, no flush possible. Now the SB bets 500 and Hachem raises him yet again to 3000. SB tanks for a minute and then calls.

What do they have?
