Hendrix Smacks the River, Hallaert Gets Away
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,100,000 under the gun with 8♣6♣ and Adam Hendrix called on the button holding 2♠2♣.
Both players checked the J♣6♠3♦ flop. Hallaert also checked the A♣ turn and Hendrix bet 2,200,000. Hallaert called with a pair and flush draw.
The river, though, was the 2♦ as Hendrix improved to a set. He bet 7,700,000, but Hallaert gave up his hand this time.
