Henson Eliminated By Hallaert, Despite Confusion

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ray Henson
Ray Henson

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action was picked up with Ray Henson all in and at risk against Kenny Hallaert on a board reading the {5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} on the turn with Hallaert only having him slightly outchipped.

Ray Henson: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Kenny Hallaert: {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The river came the {9-Spades} and Hallaert said "Good game guys," before nearly tossing his hand into the muck, believing he had lost the hand.

Henson caught his hand before it went there "What are you talking about you made a full house?"

Hallaert had thought Henson made a better full house than him, but Henson had no full house and had only a straight, meaning it was no good against Hallaert's full house. Henson wished the table luck and left the tournament.

At another table Romain Lewis was eliminated.
