Hallay Doubles Through Angelou-Konstas
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Axel Hallay had 465,000 out in front with a single T-25,000 chip behind and Ioannis Angelou-Konstas on the button then reraised to get the blinds out of the way.
"Can I take one minute?" Hallay politely asked and the Greek nodded, as did other players at the table while the event was on a pay jump. Ultimately, Hallay called all-in and they were off to the races.
Axel Hallay: A♦K♣
Ioannis Angelou-Konstas: Q♦Q♥
The most classic of coin flips saw Hallay it two aces on the A♣A♠5♥ flop.
"Queen on the river," he predicted. The 3♣ turn was a blank and so was the 6♦ river.
Hallay survived and next to fall from the same table was instead Julian Märgner, who had secured the pay jump after an elimination on a different table.
