Kenny Can Do

When we arrived at Kenny Hallaert's table, there was a {4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} flop already out on the felt and Hallaert was busy checking into one opponent, who bet 4,500. Hallaert then raised it up to 9,250. It was then quickly raised up to 17,000 and the action was back on Hallaert.

It took only a few moments for Hallaert to tumble out a large stack of 5,000-denomination chips onto the felt, which as enough to put his opponent all in. The player made the call and two sets of cards were turned over.

Hallaert: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The {4-Spades} turn was a spade, but it wasn't a good one for Hallaert's opponent as it gave Hallaert the full house. A {j-Hearts} on the river changed nothing and Hallaert raked in the hefty pot to now sit with one of the larger stacks in the room.
