Betrix's Aces Prevail as Hallabro's Queens Fall Short
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Manoe Betrix, seated under the gun, opened the action with a raise to 2,400, only to face a three-bet from Marcus Hallabro, who pushed it up to 10,000. After a moment's reflection, Betrix decided to call.
On the flop of 6♣10♣7♥, Hallabro checked, and Betrix seized the opportunity to bet 16,000. Hallabro went deep into the tank before ultimately deciding to go all-in. Betrix snap-called, revealing A♥A♠. Hallabro showed Q♦Q♠, holding a decent pair of queens but needing some help from the turn and river to turn the tide.
The dealer turned over the J♠ and 9♣, but there was no miracle for Hallabro, allowing Betrix to secure another double-up.
