Full House for Hall

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

From under the gun, Galen Hall raised to 270,000 with the {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Mike Sowers called from the next seat with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Action folded to Bolivar Palacios on the button and he paused for a bit. His holecards were not shown and he eventually mucked his hand. Anton Ionel called in the big blind with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Hall stayed in the lead with his fives. Ionel checked his ace high and Hall checked his two pair. Sowers fired 525,000 with the worst hand and Ionel folded. He was able to get one better hand to fold, but not Hall. He made the call.

The turn brought the {A-Spades} and both players checked to see the {2-Diamonds} trip up the board on the river. Hall thought for a bit and then checked. Sowers checked behind. Hall won the pot with deuces full of fives and moved to eight million in chips. Sowers dropped to 7.8 million.
