Team Hall Takes a Bite out of Team Bagin
Joshua Hopkins raised in early position to 160,000 preflop, and it started a chain reaction.
Sheraton Hall, who was to Hopkins’ immediate left, three-bet to 410,000. Action folded to Kevin Bagin on the button, and he peeked down at his cards and four-bet to 1,000,000.
The players in the blinds immediately folded, and then Hopkins followed.
Hall looked at Bagin’s bet, and then removed her ear buds. She stared at Bagin, who was motionless. Hall took a while to consider the situation, and a player at the table called clock.
As the tournament director counted down, Hall responded to Bagin’s four-bet by moving all in. Bagin called to put Team Hall at risk.
Sheraton Hall: A♠K♦ 
Kevin Bagin: Q♠Q♦
The dealer fanned 6♦4♦J♦ on the flop, giving Hall a flush draw to go along with her two over cards. The 8♦ on the turn gave her the second nut flush, and the K♣ on the river didn’t change the outcome of the hand.
