Boyuan Qu Nearly Stacks Antti Halme

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

With a substantial pot of about 18,000 already brewing and the board reading {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, Boyuan Qu checked from the cutoff and Antti Halme bet 6,500 from the button. Qu check-raised to 18,700, and after a few moments of thought, Halme jammed. The two players had nearly even stacks and Qu called to put himself at risk. He tabled {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}, which was far ahead of Halme's {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The {5-Hearts} turn and {2-Hearts} river were no help to Halme and Qu took the pot to double up.

Halme was left with just 1,600 chips and busted shortly thereafter.
