More Chips For Peppermint Hippo

Ali Khalil
Ali Khalil
Ali Khalil fans will be pleased to know that the Peppermint Hippo is in fine form today as evident by the following hand.

Khalil raised to 1,525 from middle position before Andrew Lehne moved all in from the big blind for an additional 13,300. Khalil thought for a moment and decided on a call tabling a less than spectacular {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds} to be dominated by the {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} of Lehne.

"I'm such a donk!" exclaimed Khalil, "A six is coming though".

Wouldn't you know it, the board landed {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{K-Clubs} to give Khalil the only pair and the hand to send Lehne to the rail. Khalil is now up to 77,000 chips.
