Altman Takes a Bad Beat

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Kenny Hallaert
Kenny Hallaert

Kenny Hallaert was in early position and raised to 85,000. Brian Altman was in the cutoff and three-bet to 240,000. Hallaert pondered about a minute and then moved all in for 1,260,000. Altman called putting Hallaert at risk.

Hallaert tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Altman showed {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} {3-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} and Hallaert hit his two-outer on the flop to hit a set and take down a massive pot. In a gesture of pure class, Altman had no negative reaction, saying, "Nice hand," to Hallaert while shipping him the chips.
