Hallay Gets Above Starting

Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Axel Hallay was involved in a pot of 3,500 chips against the neighbor on his left. Hallay was in the cutoff and checked to his opponent on the button, who bet 2,500 chips thereafter, on a board that read 2?3?Q?A?. Hallay made the call and the 9? river completed the board.
Hallay now elected to lead out for 3,000, eventually receiving a reluctant call from his opponent.
"I've got an ace," the latter claimed, but the cards would hit the muck as soon as Hallay tabled his A?J?.
