Hall Holds On
Level 32
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Seeing a button open to 800,000 ahead of him, small blind Ronald Sims moved all in for 4,350,000. Ryan Hall, in the big blind, then took his time to consider his options. He only had 825,000 in his stack and decided now was his time, moving his chips into the middle.
The player on the button reluctantly got out of the way, and the players flipped their cards.
Ryan Hall: A♠7♣ 
Ronald Sims: Q♥J♥
The flop 2♠K♦5♦ kept Hall in the lead, and the A♥ turn improved him to top pair.
Hall just needed to avoid a ten on the river to triple up and continue his deep run, and he did just that on the 3♠ river.
