Hallaert Survives After Being Left on Fumes
It's not been a good start for Kenny Hallaert, who started the day with 735,000 and found himself very close to elimination, left with just 25,000 chips.
Hallaert got his chips in the middle with 10♠3♥ and found himself a double up when he hit quad tens to bring his stack back up to 85,000.
The next hand, Hallaert shoved again and this time Borislav Neshkov isolated with a shove of his own from the small blind. The big blind folded and players flipped their cards.
Kenny Hallaert: 9♠8♠
Borislav Neshkov: K♦Q♦
The board ran out 7♥9♣7♦A♦A♥ and Hallaert paired his nine for two pair, aces and nines. He won the pot and doubled to over 200,000. It's not what the PS ambassador would have wanted from his Day 3 run so far, but he's still in with everything to play for.
