Halata's Massive Overbet Pays Off

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Paula Halata checked from the big blind on a {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, and the player under the gun bet 3,500. The player on the button called, and Halata put 41,000 in, nearly all of her stack. The initial bettor folded, but the player on the button hesitated.

"Why would you do that?" he said. "Do you really want to gamble? I think you're behind. I think you have a flush draw."

About a minute later, he put Halata all in.

Halata: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Halata's opponent's read was way off, and her kings stood after the {9-Diamonds} turn and {q-Diamonds}.

Players are now on break for 10 minutes.
