Hallak Scoops a Big One to Send Baron to the Rail

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a board reading {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, with 40,000 in the middle already, Alexandru Baron led out for 30,000 from the small blind. Georges Hallak was in the cutoff and called.

The river as the {q-Spades}. Baron wasted no time and moved all-in for his last 82,900. Hallak asked for a count and went into the tank for a couple of minutes before eventually tossing in some chips to call.

Baron confidently tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top two pair, but Hallak revealed {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a set of eights. Hallak raked in the pot and Baron headed to the rail.
