Girard Pays Off Hissou

Calum Grant

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou raised from under the gun and Hugues Girard defended his big blind.

Girard check-called for 60,000 on the J♥10♦8♥ flop before the J♠ turn checked through to the Q♥ river.

Girard checked and then snap-called when Hissou bet 125,000.

Hissou tabled K♣9♥ for a rivered king-high straight.

Girard let out a 'tut' and then mucked his hand.
