Hallaert Dodges the World to Double Through the Chip Leader

Level 4 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ali Imsirovic opened for 7,000 from early position and picked up callers from the cutoff and button. Kenny Hallaert, who won his way into this tournament via a satellite last night, then moved all in for 94,000 from the big blind. Imsirovic called, the other two players folded, and it was off to the races.

Imsirovic: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Hallaert: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop gave Imsirovic a double gutter, and the {8-Hearts} turn paired the board to give him added counterfeit outs. Fortunately for Hallaert, the {7-Hearts} river improved him to a full boat to give him the double through the chip leader.
