Kenny Hallaert Eliminated in 13th Place ($22,310)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Kenny Hallaert
Kenny Hallaert

Cherish Andrews opened to 400,000 on the button and Kenny Hallaert jammed in his stack of about 2,000,000 in the big blind. Andrews called.

Kenny Hallaert: {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Cherish Andrews: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Hallaert was in rough shape, and was in even rougher shape on the {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop. He was drawing dead on the {a-Clubs} turn and the meaningless {6-Hearts} completed the board as he wished his table good luck and made his exit.

Borenstein Spikes River to Survive

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert opened in the hijack and Jonathan Borenstein jammed in the big blind for 1.54 million. Hallaert asked for a count and called.

Jonathan Borenstein: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Kenny Hallaert: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The players were flipping and the dealer burned and turned. Borenstein started to get up as his future looked bleak as the dealer spread the {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. The {9-Spades} came on the turn to give him some more outs, and the {8-Spades} hit the river to keep him alive.

"Ooh, that's a river," Borenstein said as he chipped up.
