Hallaert Puts Cheong To The Test

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action was picked up in a heads-up pot with roughly 25,000 in the middle on a board showing A?A?10?7?. Joseph Cheong checked from the big blind to Kenny Hallaert who tossed out a bet of 11,000, which Cheong called.

The 6? hit the river and Cheong checked again. Hallaert took a moment before sliding forward a stack of chips worth 26,000, leaving a single 500-chip behind. Cheong took a few seconds before folding and the pot was sent to Hallaert without showdown.
