Here's a classic case study in winning at Poker. Let's first see how the final moments of this final round unfoled. And see how discipline and persistence prevailed.
FOXSports.com - More Sports- Australian wins World Series of Poker: "Nearly 14 hours into the round of plodding and seemingly interminable poker, Hachem pounced, bringing the battle to a decisive end about an hour after sunrise.
The final play unfolded slowly as Dannenmann raised before the flop with Hachem calling. The dealer revealed a six-five-four flop and Hachem checked. Dannenmann bet another $700,000 and then Hachem raised to $1.7 million.
The turn card was an ace and Hachem threw another $2 million into the pot. Dannenmann took his time raising to $5 million and Hachem went all-in with more than $30 million, moving into a high-stakes gear that can either save or break a gambler.
Dannenmann called instantly and then Hachem produced a seven and three against Dannenmann's ace-three. Dannenmann couldn't catch a seven on the river to tie the pot.
Dannenmann said his top priority was to have a good time. He even carried around a small sheet of paper with a list of things he should remember. Two of them were 'have fun' and 'nothing to lose.'
Toward the end of the round, Dannenmann, a 38-year-old accountant and mortgage banker, said he just wanted to finish the match."
And here is the one thing that brought Hachems opponent down....
"'I got tired,' he said. 'I was bored of it. I was trying to make moves.'"
Here's another example of hachem's determination to win....
"Hachem's victory was astonishing because he had been nursing a short stack for 11 1/2 hours, saving his chips for the right moment and avoiding confrontations that could cost him a chance at the 36th annual no-limit Texas Hold 'em title."
And here is one statement by Hachem that sume it all up:
""I never gave up," he said."
And what will the spoils do for him?
""A million dollars changes my life, let alone $7.5 million," he said. "It changes everything. I can look after my family, my mum, my kids.""
"When Hachem finally confronted the mountain of cash, he asked: "Is this all mine?"
Oh Yes!
