Hallaert More than Doubles
Kenny Hallaert, who made the final table of this tournament back in 2011 (6th for €155,000), didn't have to good a start. Without losing any significant pot, he dwindled down to 12,000. "My draws were missing, my opponents draws were hitting" he told us with a smirk in the last break. Just now he was catching a break though as he more than doubled his stack.
Frenchman Philippe Lima had limped and Kenny Hallaert had over limped with 
. Hallaert's next door neighbor isolated with a raise and both Lima and Hallaert made the call. All three players checked on 
and the 
soon hit the table. Lima bet out 2,100 and Hallaert and the third player made the call. The 
hit the river and Lima checked to Hallaert. The Belgian player moved all in for 6,625 and the preflop most agressive player opted to fold. Lima made the call though, but his 
couldn't beat Hallaert's straight.
