Messick Cracks Kings to Double Through Bissinger
Christopher Bissinger limped in and Ryan Messick raised to 24,000 out of the hijack. Robert Cowen called in the small blind and Bissinger then limp-raised to force folds.
"If you have two six there, I am impressed," Messick joked, referring to the hand in the big pot prior to the dinner break.
One hand later, Bissinger limped from under the gun again and Messick made it 24,000 once more. Dan Smith called, as did Christopher Chatman out of the big blind. Bissinger then limp-raised to 125,000 and Messick contemplated his option before he pushed for nearly half a million in chips.
Smith tank-folded, while Chatman quickly got out of the way.
Ryan Messick: 
Christopher Bissinger: 
This time, Bissinger had a premium hand but failed to hold up on the 
board. Messick doubled for 488,000 and soared about a million in chips.
