Halim Hauls Another Pot
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Igor Picone open-raised to 21,000 in early position. Harry Halim flat-called in the cutoff, and Eric Tsai defended his big blind. Picone continued for 25,000 on the 7♠Q♦5♦ flop, Halim called, and Tsai check-folded.
Picone sized up to 40,000 on the 10♦ turn. Halim did not call this time; instead, he raised to 140,000. Picone added calling chips to the middle, and the 4♣ river completed the board afterward.
Picone checked to Halim, who settled on a bet of 150,000. Picone quickly looked his opponent up, but he could not beat Halim's 8♦6♦, and the table chip leader dragged another pot to extend his lead.
