Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Stanislav Halatenko raised to 875,000 from the cutoff with A♦K♥J♠7♣ and was called by Peng Shan, the big blind, holding A♠K♣J♥3♠.
The flop came 9♠K♠A♥, giving both players top two pair but giving Shan a flush draw along with it. Shan checked, and Halatenko led out for 800,000. Shan considered his next move for a bit before announcing pot, betting 4,325,000. Halatenko looked at his stack, looked at his cards, and made the fold.
