Hall Wakes Up With Aces Right Away
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Thomas Hall had just registered at the start of Day 2 and quickly found himself all in for 24,000 from the small blind and up against Conor O'Driscoll under the gun.
Thomas Hall: A♥A♠
Conor O'Driscoll: Q♥J♣
O'Driscoll hit two pair on the J♥8♥8♦ flop, but he improved no further on the 7♣ turn or K♠ river as Hall doubled up with his aces.
"If you time-banked there, I would've never let you live it down," Hall told him afterward.
