Double-Up for Hissou

Richard Hayes

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Around 50,000 was in the middle on a board of 8♣7♣3♣4♠, in a hand between Sirzat Hissou and Mario Baumann.

Hissou had overbet jammed for 98,000, and Baumann was in the tank. After a bit of thought, he made the call.

Sirzat Hissou: J♦J♣ All in
Mario Baumann: J♠8♦

Baumann had top pair but was crushed versus Hissou's overpair jacks, and the 9♥ river confirmed Hizzou's double-up.
