Hissou Keeps Climbing
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mike Watson raised his button to 55,000 and got both blinds Sirzat Hissou and Elias Gutierrez to come along with him. The flop was spread 10♠6♦2♥ and the action was checked to Watson.
He fired a bet of 50,000 chips, which Hissou raised to 130,000. Gutierrez quickly folded, but Watson stuck around and called.
The Q♥ turn saw Hissou revert to a check, after which Watson elected to bet 200,000 chips. Hissou slid in the same amount for a call before the 5♥ river was checked down by both.
Hissou tabled K♥10♣ for a pair of tens and it was enough to rake in the pot as Watson's hand hit the muck.
