Hakala Bust By Dear, Retakes The Chip Lead

Dear span up and Hakala was on short-stack duties due to the shallow nature of the structure in the T.O.R.S.E.S. Main Event.

In a Sviten Special hand, which saw an open from Hakala and a raise from Dear preflop, Hakala bet 60,000 on the flop of K 4 J . Dear raised to 120,000 before Hakala moved all in for 180,000 total. Dear called.

Hakala went into the tank before discarding two, Dear discarded one. He passed on the Q and received one more face down. The players then showed down.

Hakala had Q 10 8 8 2 but was drawing almost dead to Dear's A 9 9 5 3 . The 6 turn and 5 changed nothing and Hakala was eliminated.
