Hallaert Dodges Outs to Double Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

From the cutoff Kenny Hallaert bet 3,000 into a flop that read {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}. His opponent on his right raised to 9,500 which Hallaert called.

The turn was the {a-Hearts}. Hallaert then moved all in after a check for his remaining 12,600. After a couple of moments, his opponent put in the call.

Hallaert was ahead with two pair when he showed the {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} but had several cards to fade as he was up against the {q-Spades}{j-Spades}. The river was a {2-Diamonds} brick however and handed Hallaert an important double up.
