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.
