Hall Takes Big Chunk from Pantelic Holding Quad Aces

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Most of the details escaped us but we happened upon the table just in time to see Galen Hall getting paid out by start-of-day chip leader Marko Pantelic.

There was already a considerable amount in the middle and a board reading {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. It looked as if Hall, who had the {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} out in front of him for quads, had his river bet of 129,000 paid off by Pantelic. What the latter held is unknown as his hand had already been mucked.

Whatever the case, that pot thrust Hall into the chip lead here in the closing minutes of Level 14.
