Hall Drills the River to Stay Alive
Level 44
: Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Action folded to Thomas Hall in the small blind who open-jammed all in for 57,500,000. Matthew Higgins sat in the big blind squeezed his cards and snap-called to put Hall at risk.
Thomas Hall: A♥2♠
Matthew Higgins: A♠K♠
Hall was in serious trouble and needed some help quickly.
Nothing was forthcoming on the Q♣9♣10♥ flop and when both players hit top pair on the A♣ turn it changed nothing. However the 2♣ peeling off on the river gave Hall two pair and he was shipped the pot for a monster double-up.
