River King Saves Halimi Again
Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
"All in," Rony Halimi said as he stood up and slammed his last 1,100,000 in the middle from under the gun. Parker Talbot then reshoved in the small blind. "Ace-ten I call," Omar Del Pino said, but he ended up getting out of the way.
Rony Halimi: K♣J♦
Parker Talbot: 7♥7♠
Halimi needed to win another coin flip situation to stay alive but missed the 10♣8♥2♠3♠ board and was down to his last card. The dealer turned over the K♥ on the river and Halimi smashed the table with his fist in celebration while his boisterous rail erupted.
"One more double up and you'll break the table," Guillermo Gordo told him.
"I'll pay. I have the money for it," Halimi joked.
