Hale Knocks out Habegger with Straight over Set
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action began with a player limping from under the gun followed by Fernando "Jnandez" Habegger betting 10,000 from early position. Millard Hale then three-bet to 33,000 from the cutoff, and action folded back around to Habegger. After taking some time to consider his options, Habegger moved all-in for slightly more and Hale quickly made the call to put Habegger at risk.
Fernando Habegger: K♠Q♦Q♥8♣
Millard Hale: A♥A♣J♥8♥
The board ran out A♠3♥10♣Q♣9♠. Hale had Habegger dominated with a bigger set on the turn and made a queen-high straight on the river to secure the knockout and scoop a respectable pot.
