Goryachev Gets Three Streets From Hallay

Viacheslav Goryachev opened to 600 in early position and received a call from Sebastian Gaehl in middle position.

Action folded to Axel Hallay on the button, who produced a three-bet to 2,200. Action back to Goryachev, who was undettered and reached for chips, producing a four-bet to 7,600. After some deliberation, Hallay called.

On the A♦8♠J♠ flop, Goryachev continued with a bet of 5,000, and Hallay called.

The 10♦ rolled off on the turn, and Goryachev continued with precisely the same bet, 5,000, and again Hallay called.

The 9♥ completed the board, and after using a time bank, Goryachev fired out a bet of 15,000.

Hallay, looking pained, took off his headphones and leaned forward to peer at the board, giving his opponent the eye. After he disposed of a time bank, he made the call.

Goryachev showed Q♠Q♥ for the rivered one-card queen-high straight, and Hallay sent his hand into the muck. Hallay sat with his head in his hands for at least 30 seconds while Goryachev raked in the pot.
