Hallaert and Darie Building Stacks

Kenny Hallaert was down to his last 40,000 about an hour ago but has made a comeback and is playing a stack of almost a million now.

Vlad Darie is the first player to break the two million mark and was kind enough to tell the live reporting team what had happened:

Darie raised from under the gun to 18,000 in the previous level and was called by the player in the cutoff. The player on the button three-bet to 76,000 and action folded back to Darie who four-bet to 188,000. The cutoff player folded and the button called.

The flop came rainbow on which they both checked.

The turn was an , Darie continued with a bet of 115,000 which his opponent called.

The river completed the board with another to pair the board up. Darie now put his opponent all-in for his last 350,000 or so and his opponent called with for the full house, jacks over fours. Darie had him beat though as he held for the higher full house.
