Girard Tanks to Make Payjump, Doubles Instead
Nivel 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Hugues Girard threw in 175,000 preflop, leaving only 10,000 behind. Sirzat Hissou called in the seat next to him before the rest of the table folded.
Girard checked the 7♣5♦10♠ flop to Hissou, who checked back. The A♦ turn was also checked by Girard. This time, Hissou put him all-in.
Girard spent all of his time banks trying to make €1,100 by laddering up to 79th. With the clock still at 80, he ultimately made the call.
Hugues Girard: K♦7♦ 
Sirzat Hissou: K♠Q♦
Girard actually was a huge favorite to win the hand. The 8♥ river remained clean, and his pair of sevens doubled him up to a stack of 20 big blinds.
