Bisson Spikes an Ace to Stay Alive

We're not sure of the betting action, but we do know that Stephane Bisson was all in preflop for 453,000 and racing against Barry Wiedemann in the big blind.

Showdown

Wiedemann{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Bisson{A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Bisson was on his feet jumping around and showing off for the ESPN cameras, which by that time had surrounded the table. The {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts} flop stifled his enthusiasm a bit, but the {2-Hearts} brought it right back. "Heart, heart," Bisson said a bit excited as he once again did his best impersonation of a kangaroo. While the {A-Diamonds} wasn't a heart, it did pair his ace and gave him the double.
