Noel Wins Flip Versus Halaska
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 1,500 ante
Robert Noel opened to 6,000 from middle position before Jeremy Halaska shoved for 42,000 from the cutoff. Noel made the call and put Halaska at risk.
Jeremy Halaska: 8♥8♦
Robert Noel: A♣Q♣
Halaska needed his eights to hold, but the flop was bad news when it came 10♦A♥6♠, as Noel improved to a pair of aces and took the lead.
The 7♦ turn offered some hope as Halaska gained a gutshot straight draw, but the Q♠ river was not one of those outs as Halaska exited the tournament.
