Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,600,000 in middle position and Muhamet Perati moved all in for 17,000,000 in the small blind. Hallaert snap-called once action got back to him.
Muhamet Perati: A♥Q♥
Kenny Hallaert: A♣K♦
The underdog pulled ahead on the Q♠7♦3♥ flop, while the J♦ turn provided more outs for Hallaert with the Broadway draw. The river brought the K♣ and Perati turned away from the table in disgust after Hallaert spiked a pair of kings. The Italian snapped a photo of the board before making his exit in 18th place.
All remaining 17 players have now locked up at least $450,000 for their efforts and Hallaert jumped back towards the upper echelon of the leaderboard.
