Hallaert Heads For an Early Shower

Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Taylor Black opened the hijack to 50,000 and Kenny Hallaert three-bet to 180,000 out of the big blind. Black then shipped all in and Hallaert called off his stack of around 800,000.
Kenny Hallaert: A?Q?
Taylor Black: A?K?
Hallaert needed to find Lady Luck if he wanted to survive, but the board didn't offer any help as the runout of 5?A?5?J?2? kept Black's Big Slick in the lead throughout.
