Reard Spins Up a Stack
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Unibet Ambassador Alexandre Reard found a double up quickly after the restart. His pocket queens held out against Mehdi Hsissen's pocket nines to get a double up to just over 100,000.
The following hand, Reard raised to 3,000 on the button. Hsissen, who was forced all-in for the big blind woke up with a monster.
Mehdi Hsissen: AxQx
Alexandre Reard: Ax6x
The better ace held out and Hsissen survived following the 10♥8♠3♣8♣2♦ runout.
On the next deal, former chip leader "Belmehdi" raised 3,000 from middle position. Adrien Ricard three-bet to 9,000 from the next seat over but both players quickly folded when Reard made it 22,000.
