Jordan Morgan and Joe Hachem were involved in a hand that went into the break. In the end, Hachem made a lay down that one professional claimed is "the worst fold in the history of poker."

Jordan Morgan raises to 700 and is called by three players including Joe Hachem on the button.

The flop comes A-7-4 and everyone checks. The turn is a 6 and Morgan bets 2,000. Hachem quickly raises to 7,000. Morgan takes a few moments and reraises to 12,000. Hachem puts in yet another reraise to 22,000. Then Morgan moves all in for 49,000 total, another 27,000 more to Hachem.

Hachem has roughly 27,000 in his stack, and it is unclear who has who covered. Hachem tanks for several long minutes, thinking things over. Eventually, Hachem asks, "You got 8-5 kid?"

After another minute passes or so, Hachem mucks 5-3 for the second nut straight. The table and the crowd that has formed are stunned, and Morgan tables pocket aces.

After the hand, Morgan is up to 96,300. Hachem is sitting with just under 25,000.

omfg for real? Hachem must be tilting like an epileptic monkey after that.

lol at de wolfe i want some of that sh1t he's on.

Ollieboy · 21-04-2008 12:18AM

he's raising with 58 in early pos and betting a flop like that 4 hand, what a muppet of a laydown.... its like looking for a reason to fold, a set would be the hand I would have him on, otherwise Joe gave him far to much respect, or had earn a lot of respect

20% of field getting paid, pretty sick and will turn people away from this event next year. I read recently that some people recking on 5% get paid to make the game more profitable for better players, ie 10th gets paid twice as much as the old system

5% could be a good idea but I think payout structures should be a little flatter at the top to discourage deals

Official Chip Counts
There were 421 total survivors from the first two starting days, and the official chip counts have been

5starpool · 21-04-2008 02:46PM

There must have been more that 545 entries then if there are 421 left after the first 2 starting days? I'm guessing that the 545 number was for day 1b?

im not sure Dom - you start with 500bb's and a long clock, also its a pretty long event.

bops · 21-04-2008 03:22PM

if the starting stack was 50k then there were only 545 runners going by the average (thicko's!!)

5starpool · 21-04-2008 03:24PM

Oh right. Didn't know the starting stack was 50k.

From Cardplayer......

Nam Le was originally seated at the same table as his brother, Allen, but they were separated because they were in the same family. Some tournament directors separate family members, while others let the random draw fall where it may. There are good arguments for both sides, but regardless, Nam Le and his brother are now separated.

Never heard of that before??!!

how did one of them manage to get called 'Nam' and the other guy is called Allen?

WH BONNEY · 22-04-2008 09:02AM

The story goes that their parents taught it was a good idea to give them different names.
They felt if they were both called Allen it could be a little confusing, hence they came up with a second name "Nam".

my thinking exactly...
Maybe one was named after the war and the other after the old West Ham player...youngest player to play at an FA Cup Final at Wembley?

wpt championships, live updates ?
