Halle of a Run

Jon Van Halle
Jon Van Halle
After enjoying a big stack most of the earlier part of the day, Jon Van Halle has been eliminated. With the board showing {Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Halle bet and Yan Peng Li thought for a while before making the call. The turn was the {A-Spades}, and Halle bet again. This time Li took significantly less time to call.

The river was the {10-Hearts}. Halle bet with his last chips, and when Li called he instantly said, "You've got me." Indeed he did, as Li turned over {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for top pair-top kicker, while Halle tabled {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

Halle is out in 40th. Li is now up to 85,000.
