Hall Takes from Backhouse
Level 23
: 40,000/80,000, 8,000 ante
Tom Hall started the third day with a raise to 160,000 from the cutoff with 
and that claimed the blinds and antes.
Chris Backhouse then limped in with the 
and Bartlomiej Machon raised it up from the big blind with 
to force a fold.
Backhouse then raised to 160,000 with 
and Hall defended the 
in the big blind. The flop fell 
and Backhouse continued for 120,000, which Hall check-called.
On the 
turn, both players checked and the river completed the board. There was no betting action and Hall claimed the pot with a pair of treys.
