pocket3s 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 The Hand The Whole Room Is Talking About 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.Pretty horrible Link to post Share on other sites

gatortom64 1 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Didn't someone at the table that was dealt the billionth hand on Stars fold?yes and they would have won $100,000. Link to post Share on other sites
Jam-Fly 8 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Didn't someone at the table that was dealt the billionth hand on Stars fold?yeah, but that was cleared up. He was 20-tabling or something and had auto fold on all the tables, and forgot to uncheck it. he had 24o I think and wudda lost. Saved himself 2 bucks! Link to post Share on other sites

I_fold08 1 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 a few of reasons why it wasnt the worst fold ever: 1- the structure is so deep that he doesnt have to call off all of his chips2-hachem is a good player so 20k is still plenty of chips3-jordan morgan didnt show which means it is possible for him to have it, because hachem would have literally slit morgans throat if he showed the bluff Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Is it me or does Joe Hachem run his mouth too much. Everytime I see him on TV or read tournament updates he is annoying as hell. Link to post Share on other sites

Saved himself 2 bucks!nope, he would have gotten the table share and that's the only reason he was multi-tabling.Basically, this is the worst fold in history. Link to post Share on other sites

DunkSB 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 nope, he would have gotten the table share and that's the only reason he was multi-tabling.Basically, this is the worst fold in history.he was still dealt into the hand so he still got the table share. the only thing he lost by folding was the possibility of winning the hand, which obv. would have paid him way more. but the old 24o ended up not being a winning hand anyway, so really he lost absolutely nothing by folding.am i wrong here?

mcpickl 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 um yeahIm pretty sure its not as bad as Beth Shak and another unknown player folding to an allin and call on a AKQJT no flush board.thats rather horrible Link to post Share on other sites

SlapStick 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Morgan thought he had the best hand. Hachem read Morgan for having the best hand. So he was right in a way. Link to post Share on other sites
