Von Halle Pushing Chips

First into the pot from late position, Jan Von Halle raised it up to 3,800. The small blind called, but the big blind opted to commit half his stack with a reraise to 7,000. Von Halle stuck in a third raise, making it 22,000 straight. That was enough to fold the small blind out of the way, but the big blind called all in for a total of 15,000.

Showdown
Von Halle: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Big blind: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

Von Halle would strike gold on the flop, pairing up his ace to take a big lead. In the end, the board ran out {2-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, giving Von Halle the knockout and moving him up to 95,000.
