Betrix's Aces Prevail as Hallabro's Queens Fall Short
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Manoe Betrix, seated under the gun, opened the action with a raise to 2,400, only to face a three-bet from Marcus Hallabro, who pushed it up to 10,000. After a moment's reflection, Betrix decided to call.
On the flop of 6?10?7?, Hallabro checked, and Betrix seized the opportunity to bet 16,000. Hallabro went deep into the tank before ultimately deciding to go all-in. Betrix snap-called, revealing A?A?. Hallabro showed Q?Q?, holding a decent pair of queens but needing some help from the turn and river to turn the tide.
The dealer turned over the J? and 9?, but there was no miracle for Hallabro, allowing Betrix to secure another double-up.
