Garcia Scores a Huge Double Up Through Hissou
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Arvin Verma made it 2,000 under the gun with Sirzat Hissou calling from the small blind. Murilo Garcia squeezed to 10,000 from the big blind and Verma called. Hissou back-raised to 32,000, which caused Garcia to put in another raise to 75,000.
Verma folded, and Hissou went into the tank. In the end, another player at the table called the clock on Hissou and when the timer got down to the last few seconds, Hissou jammed. Garcia instantly called for his stack of 166,000 and the players went to a showdown.
Murilo Garcia: K♣K♠ 
Sirzat Hissou: J♣J♦
Garcia was on the verge of doubling up if his cowboys held up against the pocket jacks of Hissou. The board ran out 3♣8♣3♥6♣A♥ and Garcia won the pot with his pocket kings.
