Kruger Folds to the Shove

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Barry Kruger opened the action with a raise to 2,700, which the hijack called followed by Leon Halat in the cutoff. The button came along too, and after the blinds folded, four players saw a flop of {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Kruger continued for 8,000, the hijack folded, and Halat raised it to 19,000. The button folded, Kruger tossed in a call, and the dealer burned and turned the {5-Hearts}. Kruger checked, and Halat wasted little time in moving all in. Kruger put together some chips as if he was going to call, but all of a sudden flung his cards to the dealer.
