Hsissen Keeps Climbing; Taleb Not Far Behind
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Chip leader Ghali Hsissen opened to 3,000 from under the gun and called when Brelanciaga jammed for 17,000 from the big blind.
Brelanciaga: A♦K♣
Ghali Hsissen: K♠Q♠
Hsissen paired his queen on the Q♥5♣2♠ flop to reverse his domination. Things got worse for Brelanciaga on the 5♠ turn before the J♣ river sealed their exit.
With the pot, Hsissen climbed above 460,000 mark. On one table over though is Salah Eddine Taleb, who is challenging Hsissen at the top of the counts. Taleb has been a big stack all day, and now sits on 430,000.
