Hameed Expands His Stack Without a Showdown

Khalid Hameed has propelled his stack up to the heady heights of 108,000 through the medium of sheer aggression.

Craig Marquis raised to 3,100 from the cutoff and Danny Smith in the small blind and Hameed in the big both called. Smith bet out 9,000 on the {7-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} flop, and received two callers. He bet out another 25,000 on the {9-Clubs} turn, forcing Marquis to fold then, but laid it down when Hameed re-popped him all in for a total of 47,000. Intriguing stuff.
