Hallaert Wins a Flip Against Chouity
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Nicolas Chouity opened the hijack to 1,400 and Dmitry Zakharov called from the cutoff before Kenny Hallaert three-bet from the big blind to 7,000. Chouity then put in a four-bet to 14,000, which got Zakharov to fold, then Hallaert was left with a decision.
"I'm not folding," said Chouity.
"I know," replied Hallaert, who then shoved for around 25,000 total. Chouity quickly called.
Kenny Hallaert: A♣Q♠ 
Nicolas Chouity: 10♣10♠
It was a classic flip and Hallaert took the lead on the 3♥A♥7♦ flop, as he paired his ace. An 8♦ on the turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 6♥ river, which meant Hallaert doubled up.
