Kissous Likes His Bluff
Level 4
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
John Lagan raised to 700 from early position and got calls from Brandon Sheils on the hijack, Shane Holohan on the cutoff, and Mourad Kissous in the big blind.
The flop came down a monotone 
, and Lagan continuation-bet for 1,500 after a check from Kissous. Sheils wanted to see a turn and called, as did Kissous.
The 
turn fell and this prompted Kissous to lead out for 4,000 chips. Lagan matched the bet and Sheils let his hand go.
On the 
river Kissous put the remainder of his chips in, covering Lagan's 17,800 stack. Lagan thought for a while but ended up passing his cards to the dealer. Kissous laughed nervously while he raked in the chips and showed 
, emphasizing that he really did not want to see a call from Lagan.
