Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Francisco Caballo Pena opened the action to 11,000 from the hijack and Sirzat Hissou put in a three-bet to 35,000 on the button. Arunas Sapitavicius was next to act in the small blind and put in a cold four-bet to 80,000. It folded back around to Pena who folded and Hissou made the call.
The flop fanned out 5♣5♠4♥ and Sapitavicius continued for 45,000, which Hissou came along. On the 7♥ turn both players slowed down with a check to the J♥ river and again action went check-check.
Sapitavicius tabled 9♥9♦ for a pair of nines and Hissou flashed A♣K♥ before tossing his cards into the muck.
