Five Ball, Two Times

Over at the featured table, Mike Halioua started things off by raising to 2,500 under the gun. In middle position, Alejandro Carucha moved all in over the top for 9,000. Action passed back to Halioua, and he made the call.

Halioua: {A-?} {Q-?}
Carucha: {A-?} {5-?}

Despite having his man dominated, the board ran sour for Halioua. The flop came {A-?} {6-?} {5-?}, and another {5-?} on the turn left him drawing dead to a chop. Halioua shipped a good chunk of his chips across the table, and now sits with 26,000.
