Halaska Counterfeits Gathy on the Turn
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jeremy Halaska bet 16,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 5♥10♠J♣ before Michael Gathy raised to 40,000 under the gun. Halaska then moved all in for 112,000, and Gathy snap-called.
Jeremy Halaska: Q♥Q♣
Michael Gathy: J♦10♦
Halaska's two queens had been outflopped by Gathy's top two pair, but the 5♣ turn gave him queens and fives to retake the lead. The river was the 2♥ and Halaska doubled up.
