Lehoussing Cruising

Karin Lehoussing has been quietly building a stack just a few tables to our right in the blue section. Earlier, his pocket nines held up against a player's {A-?} {10-?} to scoop him a pot worth about 70,000 chips. Just recently, he won another pot that brought him up to 87,000.

The hijack seat limped, Lehoussing limped in the cutoff, the small blind completed, and the big blind checked. The flop brought the {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} and everyone checked.

The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and the small blind led with a bet of 800. Everyone called, building a decent pot for the river.

The river completed the board with the {J-Clubs} and the small blind checked this time. The big blind fired 3,100 and the hijack seat got out of the way. Lehoussing called and then the small blind folded.

The big blind tabled {8-?} {7-?} for trip sevens, but was no good to Lehoussing's {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for a straight.
