Hess Vaults to the Top of the Counts

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Michael Carlson raised it up to 2,200 in early position and Bastian Hess just called from the hijack. Bouzid Maroki three-bet to 7,500 in the small blind and Carlson called. Hess dropped in a four-bet of 100,000, enough to put his two opponents to the test for their remaining chips. Maroki gave it some thought before calling off his stack of 26,300 while Carlson gave his hand up.

Bouzid Maroki: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Bastian Hess: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Hess was still way out front with his pocket aces. The {a-Hearts} on the turn gave Hess a full house and Maroki was left drawing dead to the {j-Clubs} on the river.
