Hallen Looks to Dodge the Overs of Naquin

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Hallen opened for 60,000 from middle position and cleared the field all the way around to Jacob Naquin in the big blind. He squeezed out his card, glanced at his opponent and then announced, "All in."

"Call," Hallen snapped, committing his remaining 599K.

Showdown

Naquin{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Hallen{A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Hallen was ahead and even managed to catch a pair of nines on the {3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}, though that didn't really matter as he was still looking to dodge the overs of Naquin. He did so on the {2-Spades} turn, and even managed to survive the {8-Clubs} river. With that, Hallen is off the short stack with 1.35 million and has put Naquin on it with just 400,000 remaining.
