First into the pot from late position, Jan Von Halle raised it up to 3,800. The small blind called, but the big blind opted to commit half his stack with a reraise to 7,000. Von Halle stuck in a third raise, making it 22,000 straight. That was enough to fold the small blind out of the way, but the big blind called all in for a total of 15,000.

Showdown
Von Halle: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Big blind: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

Von Halle would strike gold on the flop, pairing up his ace to take a big lead. In the end, the board ran out {2-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, giving Von Halle the knockout and moving him up to 95,000.
