Hallaert on the Charge

Kai Cocklin

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert opened from under the gun to 12,000 and got called by Mitchell Speck two seats down. Sebastian Crane in the small blind and Thomas Bingham in the big blind also came along.

The four saw a flop of J?9?5?, which checked to Speck, who fired 20,000. Crane and Bingham folded, then Hallaert made it 55,000. Speck called.

Both checked the K? turn to see the 8? river, where Hallaert bet 90,000. After thinking it over, Speck decided to lay it down, and Hallaert was pushed the pot.
