Yalciner Pays Off Hallaert on the River
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kenny Hallaert raised to 18,000 in the hijack before Metin Yalciner three-bet to 45,000 from the cutoff. Hallaert called and they went heads-up to the 2♣9♥8♦ flop.
Yalciner then continued for 55,000 and Hallaert called. The turn came the 9♦ and both players checked.
Hallaert led out for 130,000 on the 2♦ river and Yalciner tanked for more than a minute before calling. Hallaert turned over Q♦J♦ for the rivered flush and Yalciner shook his head in disbelief before mucking.
