Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Nguyen slid out a bet of 23,000, leaving himself 45,000 back, and Newman paused for a beat before announcing that he was all in. Nguyen would have to call off the rest of his chips to see the river, but he decided against it and instead sent his cards to the muck.

All Hale, Brant!

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Craig Hartman, who has been on the shorter side of things all evening, raised to 8,000 on the button and Brant Hale, who has the big stack and plenty of chips to spare, made the call from the big blind. Hale proceeded to lead out for 11,500 on the flop, Hartman called, and the appeared on the turn.

This time Hale checked, but he still called when Hartman bet a modest 11,000. When the completed the board on the river, Hale put together some chips and bet 32,000. Hartman thought for about ten seconds and then released his hand.

Hale added to his already monster stack while Hartman would fall just a few hands later.
