Hallaert Eliminates Another, Chasing Chip Leaders
Level 13
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Sitting in the cutoff, Kenny Hallaert faced a 40,000 chip all-in bet on the river from his opponent in the big blind on a board reading 
.
After giving it some brief pause, Hallaert called and turned over 
for the queen-high straight. His opponent showed 
for the low end of the straight, which hit the muck and sent him out the door, giving Hallaert a sizable pot to move him closer to the chip lead.
