Cowboys Overcharge ElkY

A strange hand just saw around half of Bertrand Grospellier's remaining chips float over to Hichem Ben Halima on the river. Preflop Grospellier had raised and Ben Halima threebet on the button; call.

Flop: {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} check-check
Turn: {7-Clubs} check-check
River: {K-Hearts} Now Grospellier bet out 7,700. Ben Halima promptly upped it to 17k and after a long think he made the call (and had to break into a new 25k plaque thereafter). Ben Halima showed the {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} which may not have been ahead post-flop until all five cards had come, but which certainly bumped his stack up in the right direction afterwards.
