Stanislav Halatenko Eliminated in 3rd Place ($570,307)
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
One hand after his stack was reduced to a single big blind, Stanislav Halatenko was in the small blind. Lou Garza limped the button with the K?Q?8?2? and Halatenko moved all-in for 650,000 out of the small blind with the K?Q?8?4?.
Arthur Morris called with the Q?Q?J?10? and Garza came along, too. The two active players checked the 9?6?3? flop and the 7? turn. On the 5? river, Garza improved to a flush and his bet of 1,000,000 was not called by Morris.
Halatenko's tournament concluded with a third-place finish for $570,307 and the two remaining players are now on a break prior to the heads-up duel for the WSOP gold bracelet.
