Hallaert Still Hot

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Few stars in the poker world are rising as fast as Kenny Hallaert's. The veteran grinder has been simply crushing since his WSOP Main Event final table appearance, racking up cash after cash and booking several hundred thousand dollars in winnings between his live and online scores since his turn on poker's biggest stage.

Here at PokerStars Championship Barcelona, Hallaert is already up to his old tricks. He scored an elimination in a recent hand with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, having check-raised all in on the turn for 13,200 on a board of {5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts} in a battle of the blinds. His opponent had bet an unknown amount with a T5,000 chip into a pot of 4,200, and that player couldn't get away from {a-Hearts}{a-}. The river was a {4-Hearts} and Hallaert scored the early knockout.
