Hallaert Misses Flush, Wins With Top Pair

Webjoker

Nível 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Kenny Hallaert, who finished in sixth place for $1,464,258 in this event last year (which would possibly make him one of the last-ever November Niners), sits on a very comfortable stack of 223,500. Part of that is owed to his most-recent pot.

The player under the gun opened to 4,700, and Hallaert called in the big blind. Hallaert check-called a bet of 6,100 on flop and check-called another 11,000 on the turn. The river saw Hallaert check again. His neighbor tanked for some time before reluctantly checking behind.

Hallaert showed full of confidence, and his opponent mucked.

Hallaert has cashed eight times this summer, including a deep run in the Millionaire Maker (17th, $53,962) and a final table in the $5,000 6-handed (3rd, $238,85). Whatever happens in this event, it's already a successful summer for the Belgian here in Vegas.
