Quad Aces for Hall

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Galen Hall
Galen Hall

Galen Hall has just earned a knockout in very convincing fashion after he hit quad aces.

The button moved all in, and Hall put his opponent's tournament life at risk by calling.

The board came down {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Hall held {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and not only did he flop the full house, he improved to quads on the turn to eliminate his opponent and move his stack up to 280,000 in the process.

Hall Makes Another Boat

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

On the flop of a {j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} board, Galen Hall bet 18,000 and his heads-up opponent check-raised to 50,000. Hall made the call and the {k-Hearts} hit the turn.

Hall's opponent moved all in and Hall snap-called.

Galen Hall: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Hall's opponent was drawing dead but for good measure, the {j-Hearts} peeled off on the river giving Hall an full house and his opponent hit the rail.
