Hachem Uses His "One-Time" Pass
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
If you recall, we mentioned Table 8 was allowing each player one opportunity to see their opponent's hole cards. Hachem just decided to use his in a hand against Govert Metaal.
The hand in question began when Metaal raised to 39,000 preflop from the button and Hachem reraised to 113,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Metaal moved all in for 264,000 total. Hachem clearly did not like the push and tanked for a long time.
"If you were me, would you call or fold?" Hachem asked. Metaal and Hachem joked around a bit before Hachem conceded the hand, using his "One-Time" pass in the process. Metaal revealed and Hachem seemed pleased, even congratulating himself: "Good fold. I had an ace."
