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.
