Garza Gains River Value From Halatenko
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Stanislav Halatenko raised to 750,000 with the A♥10♠10♥5♦ and it folded to Lou Garza in the big blind, who defended the Q♠J♥J♦5♥. The Q♣6♦2♠ flop increased Garza's lead and he checked. Halatenko bet 600,000 and Garza called before they checked the K♦ on the turn.
Garza made trips queens with the Q♦ river and he gave it some thought before betting 800,000. Halatenko didn't believe him and paid to get shown the bad news.
