Hissou's Stack Swells as Vo Gets Rivered
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Sirzat Hissou opened from under the gun to 1,600 and Rene Schnitzler called from the next seat. Viet Vo was a seat further down the line and he squeezed to 5,500, which Marek Tomes called in the small blind. Hissou also called, as did Schnitzler.
Four-ways to the 7♦5♣2♦ flop, which when it checked to Vo, he bet 9,000. Tomes folded, Hissou bumped it up to 25,500, Schnitzler folded, then Vo shoved around 45,000. Hissou quickly called.
Viet Vo: A♣J♣ 
Sirzat Hissou: A♦6♦
Vo was ahead with his ace-high as he held a jack-kicker, but he needed to avoid a lot of outs as Hissou had a flush draw. A Q♠ on the turn was safe for Vo, but he couldn't fade the diamonds as the J♦ river meant he was eliminated by Hissou's flush.
