Tournament director and 2016 World Series of Poker November Niner Kenny Hallaert has taken his seat and is already off to a quick start.

The player from under the gun limped in, then a player in early position raised to 250. Hallaert defended his big blind, and the under-the-gun player called as well.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and all three players checked to the turn, which was the {9-Clubs}. Hallaert led out for 400, and the player under the gun folded. The early-position player took a look over at Hallaert's bet and decided to call.

The river was the {a-Clubs}. Hallaert thought for a moment and led out for 700 this time. His opponent dramatically lifted his cards up, rapped the tabled and said, "Nice hand" as he released his cards into the muck.
