Michael Hallen Eliminated in 13th Place ($26,318)

Bob Chow raised to 125,000 preflop only to have Michael Hallen move all in for around 1.2 million. Chow made the call and it was bad news for Hallen:

Showdown
Hallen: {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Chow: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop gave Hallen a gut-shot straight draw to a queen, making a jack obsolete as one would give Chow a straight. The {4-Spades} turn changed nothing, while the {J-Spades} river made some at the table think Hallen sucked out; however, as we said before, it happened to give Chow a straight and the win. Hallen was eliminated in 13th place and will take home $26,318 for his efforts.
