An Ace in the Hall
Level 9
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Gregory Jensen opened to 35,000 in early position and Galen Hall shipped all in for 260,000 in the hijack. Aliaksei Boika woke up with a premium in the blinds and just called, forcing Jensen out of the hand.
Galen Hall: A♦Q♦
Aliaksei Boika: K♥K♣
The flop fell 6♠5♣2♥ which provided no immediate help for Hall. The 6♥ on the turn meant Hall was looking for an ace on the river and lo and behold, the A♠ peeled off, giving Hall a double up.
