Yalciner Pays Off Hallaert on the River
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kenny Hallaert raised to 18,000 in the hijack before Metin Yalciner three-bet to 45,000 from the cutoff. Hallaert called and they went heads-up to the 2?9?8? flop.
Yalciner then continued for 55,000 and Hallaert called. The turn came the 9? and both players checked.
Hallaert led out for 130,000 on the 2? river and Yalciner tanked for more than a minute before calling. Hallaert turned over Q?J? for the rivered flush and Yalciner shook his head in disbelief before mucking.
