Hall Busts, King Spikes Two Outter in Massive Pot
Greg King opened from under the gun to 450,000. Matthew Hall moved all in for 2,150,000 from middle position. David Pollock called in the small blind. King called.
Pollock checked the 10♠2♦3♥ flop to King who announced a bet of 2,500,000. Pollock thought for around thirty seconds before folding and the two remaining players showed down.
Matthew Hall: 9♣9♥
Greg King: 8♠8♣
"Yes!" exclaimed Hall as he found out he was ahead. Pollock asked for "no ace no queen" before the A♣ turn was dealt. "Fuck" said Hall, as he would have taken the lead in a massive pot.
However dejection became relief as the 8♥ rolled off on the river. Hall was left chipless and King raked in a sizeable chunk of chips.
Hall said "that one hurt" before departing the tournament area.
