The Perfect Storm

Jon Van Halle
Jon Van Halle
After some preflop betting, three players, including Jon Van Halle, saw a flop come {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and all three checked. The turn then brought the {5-Diamonds}, and some fireworks.

The trio ended up capping the betting on the turn -- a bet and four raises, or five big bets total. The river was the {3-Clubs}. Van Halle bet, and both opponents just called.

Van Halle showed {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for the turned boat, and his opponents showed A-K and A-Q. Van Halle is now up to 33,000, the biggest stack we've seen in the room to this point.
