Halaska Keeps Cool

Jeremy Halaska
Jeremy Halaska

Chip leader Jeremy Halaska opened with a raise from middle position and it folded around to a player in the big blind who reraised all in for 26,200 more. Halaska sat with his sunglasses proppped up on his forehead and thought for a while, looking over the 40-chip high stacks in front of him as he did.

Finally he shook his head "no" and let his hand go. "You have an ace?" he asked his opponent across the table. "Two," came the reply, and Halaska's eyes widened before he settled his shades back down.

Despite that small hit, Halaska is nearing 400,000.
