Hallay Sets the Trap
Level 21
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Axel Hallay opened to 350,000 from the cutoff with K♠8♠, and Chance Kornuth called from the button with A♠5♠.
Hallay made trips on the 8♥8♣2♠ flop and checked. Kornuth then fired for 220,000, and Hallay just called.
The 2♥ turn double-paired the board and filled up Hallay. Both players checked.
The 6♦ completed the board, and Hallay checked for a third time, continuing to set the trap with the best hand. Kornuth took the bait and bet 785,000. Hallay then made it 2,600,000, and Kornuth released his hand.
