Garza Takes From Halatenko
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Stanislav Halatenko opened preflop action by betting 750,000 from the hijack holding K?Q?7?6?. Lou Garza, the big blind, came along with J?9?8?5?.
Garza checked the 9?8?Q? flop. Halatenko led out for 425,000 and was called.
The turn was the 8?, and Garza checked with eights full. Halatenko led out for 950,000, unknowingly drawing dead. Garza considered his next move for a minute, and made the call.
The A? arrived on the river, and Garza checked once more. Halatenko checked behind, denying Garza a bit of extra value but still awarding him a nice-sized pot.
