Hall Scoops a Huge Pot

Galen Hall

We caught up with the action in a three-handed pot on a {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop. Several thousand chips were already in the pot from the preflop action.

Terrence Chan checked from early position and his opponent in middle position fired 6,100 into the middle. Galen Hall quickly called from the hijack seat and Chan made the call as well.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and Chan checked again, prompting a 13,625 bet from the player in middle position. Hall immediately moved all in for 23,275 on top and Chan folded.

Hall's remaining opponent fell deep into the tank.

"Wowwwwww," he said.

After rocking back and forth and deliberating for a few minutes, he reluctantly committed his last 23,000. Hall flipped over {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for top set and his opponent tabled {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for an overpair.

The {4-Clubs} river bricked for Hall's opponent and he was sent to the rail.

Hall is up to 110,000 after that one.
