Haxton Rivers Hallaert To Stay Alive

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Kenny Hallaert
Kenny Hallaert

Kenny Hallaert may be on an absolute tear these past few months, even the Belgian can be susceptible to an old-fashioned bad beat. It was none other than Isaac Haxton who rivered Hallaert to keep his Main Event run going.

Haxton had raised to 1,950 in middle position, Hallaert had three-bet to 5,500 to his left and had called Haxton's four-bet shove for 40,700 to create the following showdown.

Isaac Haxton: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Kenny Hallaert: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}, giving Haxton an ace on the river to win.
