The Classic Steal, Re-Steal, Re-Re-Steal

Ali Khalil started the action with a raise from the button to 3,100. Johnny Huynh might have sensed a steal attempt and decided to put in the 3-bet of an additional 5,500.

The big blind folded and Khalil deliberated over his decision and perhaps sensing a re-steal attempt he decided to put in the 4-bet of an additional 11,000.

The pressure was back on Huynh and he decided against playing a big pot out of position and released his hand as Khalil flashed {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}!

The Peppermint Hippo is up to 116,000 and looking in good shape for Day 2.
