Pitoun Turns Set, Hallay Rivers Straight
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Benjamin Pitoun raised to 3,500 from late position and Axel Hallay moved all in for 36,000. Pitoun called and players flipped their cards, with Hallay at risk.
Axel Hallay: K♠J♠ 
Benjamin Pitoun: 10♦10♠
Hallay stood up to leave, a common trick for making the cards fall favorably, before the flop ran out 8♣Q♦K♥ to give him a pair of kings. He sat back down, then the turn brought the 10♥ to give Pitoun a set.
"It's not over," said a neutral player as Hallay once again started to stand up.
The river was the A♥, which completed Hallay's straight. After a rollercoaster of a board, Hallay won the pot and doubled his stack.
