Hall Gets a Scare

Level 4 : 150/300, 75 ante

We came upon a table where Galen Hall and another player had just gone all in. The draw had not yet taken place, but the other player started to reveal his hand and a unanimous "WHOA!" came from the table as they attempted to stop him.

Hall's mouth dropped and he seemed unsure of what to do. It seemed he was now wondering if the overly anxious player had the nuts. After the other player officially stood pat, Hall reluctantly opted to stand pat as well and Hall said "eight-six perfect" as he revealed his {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

It turned out Hall's trepidation was unwarranted as the other player only had {10-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{4-} and Hall scooped up a large pot.

After the hand Hall's stack was around 30,000 while the other player was left with a mere 5,200.
