Hale and Hearty

Two players checked to Seville Hale in middle position after the first four cards came . Hale bet 1,100, and the player in the big blind raised to 2,200. Hale fired back with 4,800.

"I reraise," his opponent said with a southern drawl. He tossed out 6,500 more. Hale immediately moved all in for about 15,000 total, and his opponent tanked for a couple of minutes before folding.

"Nice hand," the player said, claiming he laid down threes full.
