Hallaert Loses a Big One

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player in mid-late position opened to 250 and received a call from the player on the button. Kenny Hallaert in the small blind squeezed to 700 and received two calls. {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{K-Spades} on the flop and Hallaert continued his preflop aggression with a 1,100 continuation-bet. The first player folded but the player on the button made the call.

{2-Spades} on the turn and Hallaert fired a second bullet worth 1,400. His opponent didn't hesitate and made it 5,200 to go with about the same amount of chips behind. Hallaert tanked for a good minute or so before making the call. The river brought the two the {10-Clubs} and Hallaert checked to his opponent. The player on the button instantly pushed his chips to the middle en Hallaert quietly folded.

Hallaert is still up on the day though as we counted his stack at about 7,000.
