Hijar Outraces Weissman
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Joey Weissman opened to 10,000 from under the gun and faced a three-bet to 32,500 from J Hijar out of the small blind. Weissman responded by moving all in with the covering stack. Hijar promptly called to put himself at risk.
J Hijar: 
Joey Weissman: 
Hijar was locked in the most classic of races for his tournament life but found no help on the 
flop. The 
turn did give him a wheel draw and, with one card between himself and elimination, Hijar opted to use his one time. That seemed to be a good decision as the 
rolled off the deck on the river to improve Hijar to a wheel and hand him a huge double late in the day. Weissman, meanwhile, could only watch as a good portion of his stack was shipped across the table.
