McCullough Catches Hall Speeding
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Scott Margereson opened to 3,200 under the gun, which James Hall flat-called in the hijack. Gerard McCullough then three-bet to 11,500 on the button, folding Margereson out of the pot. Hall came along and called, and the 5♥4♥7♠ flop was fanned.
Hall checked to McCullough, who continued for 9,500. Hall raised to 20,000, just under half his remaining chips, and McCullough moved all in to put his opponent at risk.
Hall gave it some thought but decided to preserve his remaining chips and fold his hand.
