Hall in the Torture Chamber

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Galen Hall checked in the big blind on a completed board of {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Michael Niwinski bet 330,000 from the cutoff into a pot of about 250,000. That was almost all of Hall's stack, as he'd only have a few big blinds left if he called and lost. He went deep into the tank, apologizing after a couple of minutes.

"F*** man, if you have like ace-six this is gonna be so gross," he said.

Again he apologized, but he finally opted to fold.

"I was going to check-jam the turn," he said.

"That would have been a rough spot," Niwinski said with a smile.
