Hachem's "Bad Fold" Wins Tourney for Him

[TomCollins]

How incredible is it that because Hachem made a bad read, he survived to win the tournament. Kanter tried the same move on him he tried on Raymer, and would have knocked out Joe.

I believe it has been mentioned in the other thread, but in the Kanter A7 vs. Barch AQ hand, Hachem had already opened the pot with 87.

If Kanter had just called/checked (unsure if it was raised or not), Hachem probably would have been crippled on the 77x flop.

Then, there is the K7 vs. K5 hand, where if Hachem had checked in position instead of making a semi-bluff on his gutshot, he would have turned a straight, and perhaps won a huge pot against Barch's two pair.

Snore.

Perhaps this play, as well as the hundreds of hands he likely played well over the course of a week.

I'm going to lock this one. If you'd like to discuss this further, please post it in the official final table thread.
