Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Axel Hallay
Axel Hallay

Axel Hallay jammed for 284,000 from the big blind on the {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} completed board.

The bet swelled the pot to over 550,000 and action was on Charles Johnson Jr. He put in the call only to see that Hallay had turned an eight-high straight with his {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Johnson Jr. had two pair and called with the {5-Spades}{4-Spades}, before sending his hand into the muck.
