Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a board reading {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and around 5,800 in the middle, the action was on the button who bet 4,000. Kenny Hallaert check-raised all in from the cutoff, putting his opponent to the test for another 15,000 chips.

He went deep into the tank and thought for over three minutes before finally making the call. Hallaert flipped over {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a set of fives while his opponent tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Hallaert's turned set sent his opponent out the doors with aces.
