Von Halle Spikes

Jan von Halle moved all in from middle position with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, a "Halle Mary," as his chip stack was dwindling. He was called by the big blind with {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. As the cards were turned, von Halle was in need of a queen.

The board came {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} and with only the river remaining von Halle was dead to one of three remaining queens. Sure enough, the poker gods were smiling on him today as the river peeled off the {Q-Diamonds} and von Halle took down the pot, bringing his stack to over 100,000.
