Hallaert Can't Be Stopped
Level 7
: 300/500, 500 ante
Kenny Hallaert opened from middle position and he was called by Pete Chen to his direct left. Action folded around where both blinds called.
The flop was 
and both players checked to Hallaert. Hallaert put out a bet of 2,500 which only Chen called.
The turn was the 
and Hallaert slowed down with a check. Chen put out a bet of 6,500 and Hallaert called.
Both players decided to check on the 
river. Hallaert showed 
for top pair, top kicker and that would earn him the pot when Chen mucked.
With that pot, Hallaert is now over 100,000 chips while Chen slipped to just over 15,000.
