Hallman Smacks the River to Survive
Level 38
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
David "ODB" Baker opened to 2,400,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 6,000,000 by Wanda Hallman on the button. The action folded back to Baker, who called.
Baker checked in flow on the A♥J♥7♥ flop, and Hallman moved all in for 15,900,000, which Baker snap-called.
Wanda Hallman: Q♥Q♦
David "ODB" Baker: A♣J♣
The 6♣ turn offered Hallman no help, but the Q♠ hit the river, improving her to a tournament lifesaving set.
"Not the one you were looking for, but one you'll take", one of her tablemates said after the river came out.
