Big Double for Hallaert
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nuno Ferro raised to 27,000 from early position and was called by Antonin Hays from the small blind. The action was then on PokerStars' Kenny Hallaert, in the big blind, and he ripped in his stack of 325,000. Ferro called before Hays got out of the way.
Kenny Hallaert: 9♠9♦
;
Nuno Ferro: A♥J♣
Hallaert made a boat on the 4♥4♦4♣ flop to remain ahead. The Belgian faded the overcards as the board was completed by the 2♥10♠.
On the next deal, Pierre Azzopardi raised to 25,000 from the cutoff. 2024 EPT Paris Main Event winner Barny Boatman called from the big blind.
The 9♦8♠6♦ flop checked through to the K♣ turn, where Boatman check-folded to a bet of 50,000.
