Halaska Hits the Turn to Double
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Renato Spahiu raised to 25,000 from early position and Jeremy Halaska jammed for 820,000 out of the big blind. Spahiu put in the call.
Jeremy Halaska: A♦Q♣
Renato Spahiu: J♣J♥
Halaska was in a race for his tournament life with ace-queen versus the pocket jacks of Spahlu.
Spahlu stayed best on the 2♥7♦K♥ flop, but the Q♦ changed that as Halaska hit a pair to take the lead.
A 9♣ on the turn completed the board, and Halaska doubled up.
