Hall Scores a KO to Double

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

Galen Hall was on the button, three-betting to 2,300 over a 1,000-raise from early position. Hall's neighbor in the small blind cold-called and the action returned to the initial aggressor who moved all in for 17,800. Hall reshoved for 20,300 total and the small blind left the party.

Hall dominated his opponent with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} against {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and the {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board sealed his victory, allowing him to double his stack while the other player said the obligatory "good game" and walked away.
