There was a raise to 33,000 from middle position and Kenny Hallaert called from the hijack. The button re-raised to 90,000 and the initial laid his hand down. Hallaert called to go heads-up to the flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

Hallaert checked the flop and his opponent bet 160,000. Hallaert proceeded to raise all-in, having his opponent covered. His opponent made the call for his remaining 650,000 and the cards were tabled. Hallaert showed {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and his opponent held a flush draw with {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

The action was stopped for the TV crews to start filming, and when it was resumed, the {6-Clubs} fell on the turn and the {5-Spades} on the river. Hallaert held on to eliminate his opponent and boost himself to one of the largest stacks in the room.
