Hero Call from Hizer

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were roughly 9,000 chips in the pot on a board of 98A. Michael Pempin bet 3,200 from early position when the 5 hit the turn and Paul Hizer called from the big blind.

Pempin fired out another bet of 6,400 when the 8 hit the river. Hizer counted out the bet and thought about his option for around 90 seconds before he eventually flicked in the call and got shown AQ which scooped the pot for Pempin.
