Hizer Runs Kings Into Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Paul Hizer
Paul Hizer

Matthew Mendez opened the action and Paul Hizer then three-bet to 1,600 from one seat over. Anthony Close cold-called in the big blind and Mendez then reraised to 6,700. Hizer eventually called while Close folded.

Heads-up to the {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Mendez continued for 8,700 and Hizer called reluctantly as the {6-Spades} followed on the turn. Mendez then pushed all-in for 33,300, which had the 20,000 of Hizer covered. The Brit tank-called after some two minutes and the cards were revealed.

Paul Hizer: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Matthew Mendez: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The {10-Clubs} on the river brought no miracle for Hizer and he was sent to the rail.
