Hallay Eliminates Kabir With Over-Bet
Keneshka Kabir had open-raised preflop from early position and Axel Hallay made the call from the button. Vito Vella also came along from the big blind and the three saw a flop of 2♦6♠9♠.
Vella checked to Kabir, who made a bet of 75,000. Hallay called, while Vella got out of the way. On the 7♥ turn, Kabir slowed down and checked, prompting Hallay to bet 125,000 himself. Now it was Kabir who made the call, and the K♣ river completed the board.
Kabir checked once more before Hallay over-bet jammed, covering the 720,000 chips that Kabir had behind. Kabir did not take long before flicking in a call and Hallay showed K♠7♠ for two pair.
Kabir had to show his 9♥8♥ for second pair, as is customary with all-in showdowns. The former chipleader left the tournament area, while Hallay crossed the three-million mark by adding Kabir's chips to his own.
