Hallaert Eliminated in Two Hands

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On the first hand, Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,200 in early position and it folded to the small blind player who three-bet to 3,400. Hallaert four-bet before calling the five-bet all-in from his opponent.

Kenny Hallaert: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
His opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Hallaert had the dominating hand but the board brought {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, giving the double up to his opponent thanks to a pair of aces hit on the turn.

The hand after, Hallaert pushed his last 900 in the middle under the gun and the hijack player raised it to 2,500. Alexey Baldwin, in the small blind, reshoved for a stack worth 13,200 and the hijack player chose to fold.

Kenny Hallaert: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Alexey Baldwin: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Balwin improved his hand to a pair of aces on the flop {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Hallaert was eliminated from the tournament after the rest of the board was completed by a {5-Clubs} and a {2-Hearts}.
