Hales Survives With a Chop
Niveau 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Kojiro Doi raised to 2,600 and then called the shove of a short-stacked David Hales.
Hales was at risk with the A♦K♦ and up against Doi's K♠K♣.
The 6♠5♦4♦ flop was a tease with the additional flush draw but Hales asked for a seven once the 8♠ came on the turn. Sure enough, the 7♥ fell on the river and they chopped it up.
Big stack at the table is Kitty Kuo.
