O'Halloran Chips Up with River Jam
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Picking the action up in a heads-up pot with 19,200 in the middle and the board reading 10♠5♠9♣5♥, Luo Yehong had put out a bet of 11,000 in position only to be check-raised by Brendan O'Halloran to 30,000. After quite some thought Yehong made the call.
The K♠ river completed the board and O'Halloran moved all in for 58,000 putting Yehong to the test for his remaining stack. Yehong again took considerable time to ponder his decision before eventually folding.
In some table chatter which followed, O'Halloran intimated he had pocket nines for the full house.
