Hall Gets a Double
Level 45
: Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante
Brian Smith made it 15,000,000 to play from early position only for Thomas Hall to three-bet to 60,000,000 from the next seat. Action was then on Matthew Higgins in the next seat who four-bet all in and had the tabled covered. Smith got out of the way quicker than a cheetah on caffeine and Hall snap-called to put himself at risk.
Thomas Hall: 9♣9♠
Matthew Higgins: A♥K♦
A clean flop for Hall of 10♠4♥8♥ and when the Q♣ peeled off on the turn he was nearly home and dry. The 6♣ brick river sealed the deal and Hall was sent the pot for a double-up.
