Hissou Triples, Much to His Surprise

David Salituro

Niveau 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou moved all in for 58,000 in early position and Alejandro Lococo called in the hijack. Gerard Pique also called in the cutoff.

The flop came K♦K♠6♦ and Lococo bet 40,000. Pique called to create a side pot as the 9♦ fell on the turn.

Lococo then bet another 135,000 and Pique open-folded ace-queen. Lococo then showed A♥J♦, while Hissou was ahead with 2♥2♦.

The 8♥ river missed Lococo and Hissou tripled up.

"Probably didn't expect to win that one," Felipe Ketzer told Hissou after the hand.
